Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and mix in sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, and cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Add the frozen hash browns, mixing until fully coated, breaking up any large pieces. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Crush the kettle cooked potato chips and corn flakes, then sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly. Allow to rest before serving.
