Hash Brown Casserole

2 lb. frozen hash browns (the square ones)

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/2 cup minced onion (or chopped fresh onion)

8 oz. grated cheddar cheese

1 can of either cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream

1 stick melted margarine

3 cups corn flakes, crushed

Thaw potatoes enough to spread in bottom of lightly greased or buttered 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and onion. Layer soup and sour cream, mix together, and then layer cheese. Mix margarine and corn flakes together and layer on top. Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees, uncovered. Serves 8 - 10 and is delicious. I have also put this in the crock pot for parties.
