Ingredients

Scale

32 oz (900 g) frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
2 cups (200 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup (100 g) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 cup (240 ml) full-fat sour cream
10.5 oz (298 g) can cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom soup for vegetarian option)
4 tbsp (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, mix the thawed hashbrowns with sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Fold in 1 1/2 cups (150 g) of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and all of the Monterey Jack cheese.
Spread the mixture evenly into a prepared 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup (50 g) cheddar cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the top is crispy and golden brown and the center is bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Thaw hashbrowns completely and drain excess moisture to avoid sogginess. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melt and texture. Bake uncovered for a crispy top; tent with foil if browning too fast. Broil 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated overnight; add 5-10 minutes to baking time. Freeze before baking for up to 2 months.
