1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch casserole dish and give it a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

   Next, take your thawed hash browns and make sure they’re thoroughly drained—using a salad spinner can make this task a breeze! In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained hash browns with 2 cups of delicious Colby cheese, a can of cream of chicken soup, a dollop of sour cream, some chopped onion, melted butter, a beaten egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

   Now, transfer this hearty mixture into your prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.

   To top it off, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Colby cheese over the mixture, creating a cheesy crown.

7. Step 7

   Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and lightly browned, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
