Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole

Ingredients

• 
  32 oz. frozen hash browns thawed*
• ½ cup butter melted
• 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup (cream of cheddar works too)
• 16 oz. sour cream
• 1 small onion finely diced
• 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
• 1/3 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Ensure that your hash browns have thawed. (Otherwise they take a very long time to bake.) You can defrost them in the microwave to speed up this process.
3. Pat them dry of excess water.
4. Set ½ cup of cheddar cheese aside.
5. Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
6. Place it in a greased 9x13 casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.
7. Bake for 35 minutes, uncovered.
8. Increase heat to 375 and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the top begins to crisp and brown slightly.
9. Remove from the oven, let it sit for 10 minutes, and serve!https://thecozycook.com/hashbrown-casserole
