Description
Cheesy Potato Casserole is a creamy, comforting dish with cheesy potatoes topped with a crunchy cornflake topping. It’s the ultimate comfort food, perfect for serving a crowd or as a side dish for any occasion.
Ingredients
32 ounces shredded potatoes (defrosted if frozen)
10 ½ ounces condensed cheddar cheese soup (or cream of mushroom soup)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
⅔ cup sour cream
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup cornflakes
2 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine the Ingredients: In a 9×13-inch casserole dish, combine the shredded potatoes, condensed cheddar cheese soup (or cream of mushroom soup), shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, melted butter, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix everything together well.
- Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, gently break up the cornflakes and toss them with the melted butter until well coated.
- Assemble the Casserole: Sprinkle the cornflake topping evenly over the potato mixture in the casserole dish.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
For a heartier dish, add cooked crumbled sausage or diced ham to the potato mixture.
If you prefer extra heat, try adding a bit of hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the casserole.
To make it vegetarian, skip the meat and use a vegetarian “cream of” soup.
