Ingredients
- 21.5 ounces can of reduced-fat condensed cream of chicken soup
- 12 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (around 3 cups)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 32-ounce package of frozen diced hash brown potatoes (roughly 7⅓ cups)
- 2½ cups crushed corn flakes cereal
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish and Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
While the oven is warming up, coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Set the prepared dish aside for later use.
Step 2: Mix the Main Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the soup, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
Make sure these ingredients are well-blended to create a creamy base for your dish.
Stir in the potatoes, taking care to break up any frozen chunks so that everything combines evenly.
Step 3: Bake the Potato Mixture
Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it in an even layer for uniform cooking.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour.
This will allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to become tender.
Step 4: Prepare and Add the Cornflakes Topping
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and crushed cornflakes to create a crunchy topping.
After the initial baking step, remove the dish from the oven, stir the potato mixture, and sprinkle the cornflakes mixture evenly over the top.
Step 5: Finish Baking
Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 20 minutes.
This will brown the cornflakes topping and add a delightful crunch to the dish.
Step 6: Serve and Store Leftovers
Once finished baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your warm, cheesy potato dish!
Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
