Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 lb. Southern-style frozen hashbrowns

Filling

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • ½ cup canned corn, drained
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 3 cups shredded chicken
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 2 cups bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure a crispy topping and evenly baked casserole.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly and spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly across the bottom to create the casserole base.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas and carrots, sour cream, drained corn, cream of chicken soup, shredded chicken, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into a creamy mixture.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly over the hashbrowns in the baking dish, spreading it out uniformly.
  5. Add the Topping: Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole to add a crunchy, golden layer after baking.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour or until the bread crumbs on top are golden brown and the edges are bubbling, indicating thorough cooking.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after baking to let it set, making it easier to cut and serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a vegetarian-friendly variation (omit chicken).
  • Use freshly shredded chicken from roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken for best flavor.
  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Feel free to add diced onions or garlic to the filling for more depth in flavor.
  • This casserole reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
