Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
  • salt and black pepper to taste (optional)

Equipment

  • baking dish
  • mixing bowl
  • spoon
  • oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine thawed hash browns, 2 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, and cream of chicken soup. Mix well.
  3. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  4. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Bake uncovered for 40–50 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Make sure hash browns are fully thawed and well drained to avoid a watery casserole. Do not dilute the soup — use it straight from the can. Freshly shredded cheese melts best. Let the casserole rest before serving so it sets properly.
