Ingredients

8 tablespoon butter divided
1 cup chopped onion
¼ cup all-purpose flour
14.5 oz chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 ½ cups shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese divided
30 oz frozen hash browns defrosted
¾ cup sour cream
2 cups cornflakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion 3 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring to boil and let simmer to thicken, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat then stir in 2 cups of the cheese until melted and smooth.
In a large bowl, fold together hash browns, sour cream and the cheese mixture. Add additional salt and pepper if you’d like. Pour in a buttered or non-stick sprayed 13”x9” baking dish.
Melt remaining butter and combine with cereal. Evenly spread over the potato mixture, then sprinkle evenly with cheese.
Bake covered with foil for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Rest for 10 before serving.
