Sunday 3/28/10 - Hashbrown Casserole

It seems like there is a ton of recipes that have some form of potatoes, cheese, onion, soup, etc in them.   I thought this sounded a little different than what I'm used to eating.  My mother in law makes something called party potatoes.  I believe she puts cornflakes on the top, if I'm not mistaken.  This recipe doesn't call for anything like that.  Since I've been in the mood for cooking and trying new things, I thought, "what the hey".   Jack absolutely LOVED this.  I have no idea why.  It was just another potato recipe to me.  Yes, it was good, don't get me wrong.  He raved about this recipe to me for quite a while after he ate it.  I realized AFTER I had finished baking this, I forgot the onion.  I thought it was missing something...Jack thought it was perfect without it.  You know, it would've caused sudden death if one would've some how gotten past his radar and touched his lips.  Oh, what a terrible shame!  :D  

My line up:


1-30 oz bag frozen shredded hashbrowns (slightly defrosted)
1 cup grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (I prefer mild cheddar)
1 heaping cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 stick of butter, melted
salt and pepper to taste


Put stick butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat until melted


Melted butter


After putting hashbrowns in a 9x13x2 casserole dish, add cream of chicken soup


Then 1 heaping cup of sour cream


Then 1 cup of cheese (monterey Jack would be good here too)


Pour the melted butter to other ingredients (be careful, this bowl will be HOT!)


Add salt


Last, but not least, add your pepper


Mix all ingredients together.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour (I only needed to bake for 45 mins)



Doesn't it look good?  I love the golden cheesy color.  Didn't I tell ya that's my favorite color? :D
