Breakfast Potato Dish

2 lbs hash browns - thawed (shredded or chunky, either will work)
2/3 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz sour cream
1 stick of butter
1 1/2 cups corn flakes (do not crush)

Combine first seven ingredients (through sour cream) and put in 9 x 13 pan (I do the combining IN the 9 x 13 pan to save on clean up). Melt butter and gently combine with corn flakes. Spread on top of potato dish. Bake @ 350 for 1 hour.

This dish can be prepared the night before and put in the refrigerator. Take out one hour before baking. If you do this, wait until just before baking to add the corn flakes/butter topping.
