Cheesy Hashbrown Chicken Casserole

How to Make It

1. Preheat & Prep – Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Make the Sauce – In a large bowl, whisk together both soups, sour cream, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

3. Mix Everything – Stir in the chicken, hashbrowns, onion, and 1 cup of cheddar. Combine well.

4. Assemble – Spread mixture evenly into the baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese and, if desired, a crunchy cornflake or breadcrumb topping.

5. Bake – Cook uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden brown on top.

6. Cool & Serve – Let it rest for a few minutes before digging in.

Pro Tips
