Hash brown Casserole

I made this for Christmas morning this year. I made everything the night before and just put it in the fridge until the next morning.

Ingredients:

1 (2 lb) package of frozen hash browns defrosted

1/2 cup butter softened

1 tbsp butter

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 (10.75 oz) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray one 9x13 inch pan with non stick cooking spray.

2. In a saute pan melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and saute until translucent.

3. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, softened butter, salt, pepper, cooked onions, soup and cheese. Gently mix and pour into prepared pan or dish. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes.
