Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 lb Kielbasa Sausage Provides smoky, savory flavor; turkey kielbasa offers a leaner option.
  • 30 oz Frozen Diced Hash Brown Potatoes No thawing necessary; shredded hash browns work too.
  • 10.5 oz Cream of Chicken Soup Acts as a creamy binder; swap with cream of mushroom for a twist.
  • 16 oz Sour Cream Enhances creaminess; Greek yogurt serves as a lighter alternative.
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese Freshly shredded cheese improves melting and flavor.
  • 1 cup Chopped Onions Sautéing them first mellows their taste if preferred.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Boosts overall flavor; fresh garlic can be switched in.
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika Adjust according to your spice preference.
  • 1/4 cup Butter Melted; helps achieve a crunchy topping.
For Optional Toppings
  • 1 cup Crushed Cornflakes or Ritz Crackers Mix with melted butter for best results.
