Instructions
Preheat and Mix Filling
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl combine the thawed hash browns, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and half the melted butter. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
Fill the Baking Dish
Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it into an even layer using a spatula. Make sure the mixture reaches all the corners of the dish.
Make the Topping
In a small bowl toss the crushed cornflakes with the remaining melted butter until every piece is coated. Sprinkle the buttery cornflakes evenly over the entire surface of the potato mixture.
Bake Until Golden
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the cornflake topping is golden brown and crispy. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
