30 oz package of traditional frozen hash browns ((take out of the freezer 20 mins prior to cooking))
½ large yellow onion (chopped)
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
2 cups sour cream
2½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
3 cups corn flakes (crushed. I used a large gallon size bag and a rolling pin to crush my French's Onions and Doritos.)

Steps:

In a medium skillet heat 1 tablespoon butter and cook your onion until soft (about 5 mins)
In a large mixing bowl combine your hash browns, salt, black pepper, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup and your cooked onion. Stir well. It may take some serious arm muscle to work this all together if your hash browns are still frozen but should mix easily if thawed.
Preheat your oven to 375°. Put your potato mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Take out and stir the whole casserole well. Put back in the oven and continue to cook until it's bubbling on the sides and in the middle, about 20-30 more minutes depending on your oven. Once it's bubbling in the middle you know it's done.
Take the casserole out of the oven and sprinkle your the crushed corn flakes on the top (crush them by putting them in a gallon ziploc bag and use a rolling pin). Put back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes but watch carefully so the topping doesn't burn.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
