- 1 package 32 ounces frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers crushed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, melted butter, and cream of chicken soup until smooth and well combined.
Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
Fold in the frozen shredded hash brown potatoes until fully coated in the creamy mixture.
Spread the potato mixture evenly into the greased baking dish, smoothing out the top with a rubber spatula.
Sprinkle the crushed Ritz crackers evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
