Recipe first tried at Anthony and Candice's

This is a recipe I made after first eating it at Anthony and Candice's. It's a yummy variation of the old stand-by potato casserole served at potluck dinners for the past, say 40 years ago. I guess this is like the one they serve at Cracker Barrel. Thanks for telling me how to find it, Candice.

Southern Hash Brown Casserole Recipe

1 bag of frozen hash brown potatoes (2 lbs)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup melted butter
1 ½ tsp salt
1 small onion (chopped)
1 can 10 ¾ oz cream soup (cream of chicken or mushroom)
1 cup sour cream
2 cups crushed Corn Flakes
¼ cup melted butter
Directions:

Thaw hash browns.
Mix hash browns, cheddar cheese, ½ cup melted butter, salt, onion, soup, and sour cream.
Spray 9 x 13 pan with Pam.
Pour mixture into pan and spread evenly. Do not pack tightly.
In a small bowl, mix Corn Flakes and ¼ cup melted butter. Sprinkle on casserole.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until lightly brown.

(It might be a good idea to avoid getting on the scales for a couple of days after eating this.)
