Hash Brown Casserole

Who doesn't love the casserole with hash browns and crispy cornflakes?? Every time I make this, both my husband and I eat it almost at every meal! Horrible, I know, but it's so delicious! So I am here to share this amazing recipe with you all!

Ingredients:

1 pound of hash browns thawed

1/4 cup of melted butter

1/2 can of condensed cream of chicken or mushroom soup

4 oz of sour cream

1 cup of shredded cheese

salt

pepper

Topping:

1 cup of corn flakes crushed

2 tablespoons of butter

You ready to know what to do in order to make this delicious dish?!

Step 1: 

Pre-heat the oven to 350

Take everything EXCEPT the topping ingredients and mix it all together in big bowl

Step 2: 

 Spray your dish and pour the mixed ingredients into your pan. 

Now for the topping!

I normally never measure the cornflakes or butter but if you must, it is up there (: 

But take the cornflakes and crush them in some sort of bowl and mix the butter in so they look a little moist, not soaked! 

Then sprinkle the cornflake mixture on the hash brown mix that's in the pan.

Step 4:

Place your dish into the oven for 40 minutes and then it will be done and ready to scarf on down! 

This amount will feed 6 people so feel free to change to your needs and enjoy!!
