  • 3 Tablespoon Flour
  • 2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 2 teaspoon Chicken Base
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Celery Seed
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

For the Topping

  • 2 cups Corn Flakes Crushed
  • 3 Tablespoons Melted Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and add sour cream.

  • Combine the shredded hashbrowns, onions, and sauce in a large bowl. Stir until the hashbrowns are evenly coated. Spread the hashbrown mixture into the greased 9x13-inch baking dish, smoothing the top.
    1½ cup Sour Cream, 2½ cup Cheddar Cheese, 30 ounces Shredded Hashbrowns, 1 Small Onion
  • In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with the melted 3 tablespoons of melted butter until well coated. Sprinkle the buttered cornflakes evenly over the hashbrown mixture.

Notes

How to Store & Freeze Hashbrown Casserole

  • Refrigerator: Let leftovers cool to room temp, then cover tightly or transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
  • Reheat: Bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, or microwave individual portions for 1–2 minutes, until heated through.
Freezing (Before Baking): Assemble casserole but leave off the topping. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil or use a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
To Bake After Freezing: Thaw overnight in the fridge. Add topping, then bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
