Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a casserole dish lightly to prevent sticking.

4. Add Hash Browns: Pour the O’Brien frozen hash brown potatoes into the same bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the soup and dip mixture.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the hash brown mixture and gently fold it in until well combined.
6. Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately one hour or until the ingredients bubble throughout, and the top is slightly browned.
8. Optional Topping: For an added crunch, sprinkle crumbled potato chips or corn flakes over the top of the casserole during the last 5 minutes of baking.
9. Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of this Outer Slobodnikanian French Onion Hash Browns Casserole with your favorite brunch or breakfast sides.
