HASH BROWN Casserole
Makes a 9×13″ pan of potatoes, about 10 to 12 servings
2 lbs. frozen hash browns, thawed
1/2 cup butter, melted and divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped onion or green onion
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 pint (2 cups) sour cream (regular or light)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups crushed corn flakes, optional
1/4 cup melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray a 9×13″ pan or baking dish; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine thawed hash browns with 1/2 cup of the melted butter, pepper, salt, and chopped onion, blending well. Add in the soup and sour cream, then the cheddar cheese, mixing everything well. Spread mixture evenly into a 9×13″ baking dish. Mix 1/4 cup melted butter and the crushed corn flakes together and sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 50 to 60 minutes. Serve hot.
Those who know me, know I do not follow a recipe. This is what I did differently:
1. I bake in 2 aluminum foil containers and freeze one for later. (The square ones--8 inches??)
2. I usually do not use that much butter. The most I use is half a stick.
3. I don't always use cream of chicken. This last time I used cream of mushroom. Cream of Celery is also good for a twist.
4. I didn't use onions so Charcoal could enjoy it, but I do love it with Vidalia onions.
5. I don't use that much sour cream, either--lol I probably used 6 ounces.
6. I don't always put the corn flakes on top!
7. Sometimes, I have noticed that the potatoes don't seem cooked enough, so I most always cover it tightly and baked covered for 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake until brown, approximately 15 minutes.
8. I stir everything together while the hash browns are frozen, so they don't get mushy!
9. Hmmmm... I really didn't come close to this recipe, but in all fairness, I have made this for over 25 years, and I just put what I have and/or like.
I always suggest following directions the first time. It is wonderful by the directions.
Note: This is like Cracker Barrels Hash Brown Casserole
I am pretty sure, they do not put the corn flakes on top.
