Ingredients

1 (30-32 ounce) package Frozen Diced Hash Browns (I use Ore-Ida brand)*
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. and grease or spray a 9x13" baking dish. Combine slightly thawed potatoes, sour cream, soup and cheese in a large mixing bowl. Stir until completely combined.
Transfer mixture into casserole dish.
Bake uncovered at 350ºF for about 60 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

*Allow potatoes to thaw for about 20 minutes. They do not have to be completely thawed. You will just want them thawed enough so that you can stir them with other ingredients easily.

Storing leftovers. Place any leftover potato casserole in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to about 5 days.
To reheat. Pop individual servings in the microwave and cook for 30 second intervals until it’s warm. You can also place the casserole dish in the oven at 325ºF. If using the oven, loosely cover with foil (since it has already been baked) and place the dish on the center rack for 15 to 25 minutes, until warmed through (the larger the serving, the longer the cook time).
Freezing. Place leftovers in an airtight freezer-safe storage container or a freezer-safe baggie in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
