Instructions:
Follow these steps to create the perfect Hashbrown Chicken Casserole:
- Preheat Your Oven
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure the casserole doesn’t stick.
- Prepare the Base Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Add Chicken and Hashbrowns
- Fold in the shredded chicken, hashbrowns, and cheddar cheese. Stir gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
- Assemble the Casserole
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Prepare the Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Bake to Perfection
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve
- Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips for Success:
- Customize the Ingredients: Add sautéed onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
- Cheese Options: Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a blend of cheeses for a unique twist.
- Make Ahead: This casserole can be assembled a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to bake.
