Sometimes you have to post one of those really easy but delicious recipes. This one came from a work colleague, who also swears by it.

2lb bag plain frozen hash browns, thawed. (Julie uses the little square ones)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 can cream of mushroom soup (Campbells is a good one)
8oz sour cream
3/4  to 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 to 1 cup whole milk or half and half

Topping
2 -3 cups cornflakes, crumbled
1/4 cup melted butter

Mix all the ingredients except the topping in a large bowl and pour into a buttered casserole dish.
Mix the crumbled cornflakes with 1.4 cup melted butter. Add on top and bake for 50 minutes at 350F.
Let sit for 10 minutes then serve
