Instructions: *My husband has made this with 1 can of soup and 1/2 cup of milk) You can make it either way. The original recipe calls for 2 cans of soup.

You can divide ingredients into 2 smaller casseroles and freeze one, either baked or unbaked.

Procedure: Break up the hash browns before opening the package. In a large bowl, mix frozen hash browns with soup, sour cream and optional onion. Spread in a large casserole dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. During the last 20 minutes, sprinkle grated cheese on top. (Because hash browns are frozen, this dish takes longer than you might think to bake.)
