recipe of the week - hash brown casserole

Mom found this recipe in Southern living either in the early 80's or the late 70's.  Either way, it was a staple at our house, especially for family gatherings.  It's another quick, easy and delicious side dish that we now enjoy at our house.  Hope you do too!

1 stick melted butter
1 pt. sour cream
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp salt
1 2lb bag of hashbrowns
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 tsp pepper

Mix 8 ingredients and put into a buttered casserole.  Cover with a topping of 2 cups of cornflakes and 1 stick of melted butter.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 40 - 45 minutes

The great thing about this is that you can use low fat dairy and soups in this recipe and it tastes the same!  I like to use as mild an onion as i can so that it doesn't overpower the flavor.  Also, if interested, chunks of ham tossed in work well too!
