Ingredients for Hashbrown Casserole
This potato side dish will be a favorite for its creamy, cheesy flavor, but it'll also be a favorite for how easy it is to make—and that includes the short ingredient list:
- Frozen hashbrown potatoes: Grab the two-pound bag from the freeze section. The cubed potatoes are preferred over shredded hashbrowns.
- Cream of chicken soup: Adds creaminess and savoriness to the casserole.
- Sour cream: Adds tang and body to the casserole.
- Cheddar cheese: Mild Cheddar cheese is preferred, but if you like a little more tang, pick up sharp Cheddar instead.
- Onion: Loads up each bite with savory, umami flavor.
- Butter: Adds richness to the casserole filling and helps make the cracker crumb topping golden brown.
- Cornflakes cereal: For what it’s worth, casserole connoisseurs caution against using off-brand generic cornflakes for the topping.
- Parsley: An optional garnish if you want a little freshness or color.
