Cissy's Most Favorite Easy Cheesy Hash Browns Casserole

My youngest daughter does not like ANYTHING that even resembles an onion so I adapted one of the million hash brown casserole recipes to suit her tastes. She wants this at every holiday meal and it is so easy and delicious I don't mind making it for her! You can also divide this between two 9 X 9 pans and freeze one for later. Make sure and either thaw before baking or increase baking time. Also - you can use cream of potato soup instead of chicken if you don't want chicken.
