Ingredients
 

  • 8 tablespoon butter divided
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 14.5 oz chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ½ cups shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese divided
  • 30 oz frozen hash browns defrosted
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 2 cups cornflakes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion 3 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring to boil and let simmer to thicken, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat then stir in 2 cups of the cheese until melted and smooth. 
  • In a large bowl, fold together hash browns, sour cream and the cheese mixture. Add additional salt and pepper if you’d like. Pour in a buttered or non-stick sprayed 13”x9” baking dish. 
  • Melt remaining butter and combine with cereal. Evenly spread over the potato mixture, then sprinkle evenly with cheese. 
  • Bake covered with foil for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Rest for 10 before serving.
