Loaded Hashbrown Casserole

I bought a big box of dehydrated hashbrowns from Idaho Potato Company. They had 65 servings in one box for under $20! I've divided them into serving portions and vacuum sealed them for storage. Today, I made a hashbrown casserole with all the "fixins." I hope you try it! Enjoy! 

Loaded Hashbrown Casserole

32 ounces Hash Browns, frozen shredded, defrosted
½ cup Melted Butter
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup (or cream of mushroom)
1 cup Sour Cream
½ cup Onion, finely chopped

1 8oz packet Velveeta Cheese Sauce
1 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated and divided

4 pieces cooked bacon crumbled

1/4 tsp Garlic Powder

Salt and Pepper, to taste

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, setting aside half the cheese for topping. 
Place in a 9x13 greased pan and top with cheese. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbling hot and golden brown on top.
