1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Mix and Blend:
- In a spacious bowl, blend together the thawed hash browns, melted butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chopped onion, 1.5 cups of grated cheese, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
3. Assemble with Care:
- Transfer the hash brown mixture into the greased baking dish, ensuring an even spread. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of grated cheese evenly over the top layer.
4. Bake to Perfection:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the casserole achieves a golden, bubbly finish.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This brief resting period helps it set, making it easier to portion out servings.
