Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package (30-32 ounces) Frozen shredded hash-brown potatoes, thawed
Sauce and Seasoning
  • 1 can (10.5-10.75 ounces) Reduced-fat or 98%-fat-free cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup Fat-free sour cream
Cheese
  • 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Vegetables and Seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
For the Pan
  • As needed Cooking spray

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Thaw the frozen hash browns completely, then drain or blot away excess moisture. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the reduced-fat cream of chicken soup, fat-free sour cream, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and about 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Fold the thawed hash browns into the soup mixture until the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar over the casserole. Bake uncovered for 45–55 minutes, until hot and bubbling with lightly browned edges.
  5. Let the casserole stand for 5–10 minutes before serving. This short rest helps the creamy filling settle so each portion is easier to scoop.

Notes

Thaw and drain the potatoes well so excess ice and water do not loosen the casserole. For a crispier browned top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end while watching closely. The exact WW Points value varies by brand, fat content, and plan.
