Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Add the chopped green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the frozen diced hash brown potatoes until each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Mix in the sliced kielbasa, ensuring it's evenly distributed without breaking the potatoes.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
  7. For a crunchy topping, mix melted butter with crushed cornflakes or Ritz crackers and scatter over the cheese (if desired).
  8. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
