Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen hashbrowns
- 1 can diced green chiles
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hashbrowns, diced green chiles, shredded cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and chopped onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, stirring to ensure the seasoning is well incorporated throughout the casserole mixture.
- Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth, consistent layer.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy and slightly bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes to allow it to set and cool slightly before serving.
- Serve hot as a side dish or hearty breakfast casserole. Optional: Garnish with additional chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Tips
- For extra crispy edges, spread the casserole mixture evenly and consider using a ceramic or cast-iron baking dish.
- Make sure to thaw and drain frozen hashbrowns slightly to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.
- For a spicier kick, use hot green chiles or add a dash of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or sharp cheddar for varied flavor profiles.
- Prep this casserole the night before and refrigerate, then bake in the morning for a hassle-free breakfast.
- Let the casserole rest after baking to allow it to set and make serving easier.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
