Comfort Food: Hashbrown Casserole

We all have foods that are a go-to when we want to eat something comforting. Being a stress eater myself, I definitely have a list. One of my favorites on this list is Hashbrown Casserole.

I found this recipe a couple of months ago and made it for a baby shower for one of my best friends. It is SO GOOD that I make it whenever there is an opportunity! Most recently I made this and took it into work for my office breakfast.

I got this recipe from Pinterest and haven’t altered it one bit.

What you’ll need:

2 lbs frozen hash browns
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter, melted
1 (10 1/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 pint sour cream
1/2 cup onion, peeled and chopped
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated + 1 cup of cheddar cheese for topping
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper + 1/4 teaspoon of pepper for topping

First, put your butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Next, combine the other ingredients in a bowl and mix well. When the hash browns have slightly thawed, put the butter in the mix and combine it with your mixture.

Next, pour the mixture into a casserole dish, top with cheese and pepper and pop it into the oven for 45 minutes or until fully heated and slightly golden.
