Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and golden. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Fold in the sautéed onion and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Season with salt and pepper, stirring until well incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in the frozen shredded hashbrowns, ensuring each piece is coated without mashing them.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, smoothing the top and ensuring even distribution.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter until coated. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the hashbrown base.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for approximately 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and edges are bubbling.
  7. Once baked, let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes after baking for firmer slices. Use sharp cheddar for best flavor. Mix the hashbrowns well for even texture. Grease the baking dish to prevent sticking.
