Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 30 ounces frozen shredded hash brown potatoes (thawed)
• 1 (10 1/2 ounces) can condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
• 1/2 cup butter (melted)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, stirring several times. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, stir together the cooked onions and garlic, thawed shredded potatoes, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and 1½ cups of cheddar cheese. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.

4. 4

   Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly.
