1/2 cup chopped onions (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hash browns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, and chopped onions (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Season with salt and pepper to taste.
