1/2 cup chopped green onions

1/2 cup melted butter

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 cup crushed cornflakes (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Casserole Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
