Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s essential to get the oven nice and hot so the casserole bakes evenly. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the frozen hashbrowns, diced ham, and half of the shredded cheese. These ingredients blend beautifully, creating a hearty mixture that’s the foundation of the casserole. Then, in another bowl, I mix together the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and onion, seasoning it with a pinch of salt and pepper. This creamy mixture adds that luscious texture I adore in a casserole! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
