Equipment

9x13 baking dish

Ingredients

2 pound lean ground beef
30 ounce hash browns shredded & frozen
2 10 ounce cream of chicken cans
1 medium yellow onion diced
1 cup sour cream
1.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounce sharp cheddar cheese grated

Instructions

Prepare the hash browns. Thaw the frozen shredded hash browns completely, then squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Brown the ground beef. Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove the beef, draining excess grease but leaving a little in the skillet.
Cook the onions. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened and translucent.
Prepare the creamy mixture. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salt, and black pepper.
Combine the ingredients. Add the thawed hash browns, cooked ground beef, and onions to the creamy mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Assemble the casserole. Spread the mixture evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the grated sharp cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake. Bake uncovered at 350°F for approximately 45 minutes. Allow the casserole to rest briefly before serving.

Notes

Thaw the hash browns completely and squeeze out excess moisture. Draining alone will not remove enough water.
Freshly grated sharp cheddar melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
Drain excess grease from the beef to prevent an oily casserole.
