Notes

Tips for best results:
Make sure the hash browns are defrosted.
Shred cheese directly from a block for best results as pre-bagged ha added non-clumping ingredients.
Use full fat sour cream and full fat cheese as opposed to reduced fat or fat free options for best results.
This dish may be cooked/finished in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes after step 2, which is sautéing the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in butter.
