Party Potatoes

This is the exact recipe I used for the cheesy potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner.
Makes two 9x13 dishes.
Cook time 1 hr.

Filling
- 2 24 oz. bags Southwest Style hash browns
- 3 cans cream of chicken soup
- over half of my 3 lb. container of sour cream
- 2 lb. block of medium cheddar cheese

Topping
- half a gallon ziplock full of corn flakes
- half a stick of butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees*. Mix filling ingredients in large bowl. Pour into two 9x13 casserole dishes. Bake for 45 minutes*.

Meanwhile, melt butter and crunch up corn flakes. Pour and mix melted butter into corn flakes. Spread on top of casseroles and cook for an additional 15 minutes*.

I usually only make one casserole and use
- 1 16 oz bag of southwest style hash browns
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- 16 oz of sour cream
- 1/2-1 lb. of cheese
- a lot of corn flakes
- a couple tablespoons of butter

*To speed things up, I have cooked at 400 degrees for a half hour plus 10 minutes with crunchies. I do think it comes out better the long way, though.
