Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base (or one chicken bouillon cube)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon each black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 30-32 ounce bag hashbrown potatoes
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- Chives for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- In a large oven-safe skillet or a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Whisk the flour into the butter and onions; look cook for one minute. While whisking, pour in the chicken broth then the milk. Let simmer until thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the better than boullion, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and nutmeg. Remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- If using an oven-safe skillet, mix the hashbrowns and 1 ½ cups of cheddar cheese into the sauce. If your pot or pan isn't oven-safe, transfer the sauce to an oven-safe baking dish before mixing in hashbrowns and cheese. Sprinkle the top with remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese.
- Cover and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melty and slightly browned. If desired, garnish with chopped chives.
