Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 564kcal
Ingredients
- 30 ounces frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed, drained, and patted dry
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 10.5 ounce can cream of chicken soup
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onion (scallions) thinly sliced
- 3 strips cooked crumbled bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, milk, salt, pepper, and onion powder to a large mixing bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients together until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add the hash browns and chicken. Pour the wet ingredients on top and add half of the cheddar cheese. Mix everything together until the chicken and hash browns are evenly coated in sauce.
- Pour the hash brown mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Top the casserole with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes, until the hashbrowns are tender and the casserole is hot and bubbling. Remove the casserole from the oven and garnish with cooked bacon and green onions. Enjoy!
Notes
- Half it, freeze It: For smaller families, split the recipe into two 8x8 dishes. Bake one now and freeze the other for later.
- Thaw those hash browns: Frozen hash browns release water when they bake, so make sure to thaw and pat them dry.
- Make it ahead: Assemble the casserole, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Just bake it when you’re ready, adding a few extra minutes if it’s cold.
