In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
Stir 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the wet mixture.
Add the frozen hash browns to the bowl and gently fold everything together until the potatoes are well coated.
Grease the insert of a 6 quart slow cooker lightly.
Pour the potato mixture into the slow cooker and press down to create a uniform layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the potatoes are cooked through and the edges are bubbly.
When the cooking is done, turn off the slow cooker and allow the casserole to sit for 5-10 minutes uncovered before serving.
