Instructions

- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until softened. Stir in the flour to form a paste, and cook 2-3 minutes, until golden. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the milk, a little at a time. Add the salt and pepper, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the cheeses and sour cream until smooth. Mix the hash browns into the sauce, then pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- To make the topping, mix together the crackers or bread crumbs and butter, then sprinkle the mixture over the top of the potatoes. Cook 40-45 minutes, until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges.
