Cheesy Hash Browns
A family favorite and great side dish to burgers, brats, grilled chicken etc.
You can also make ahead and freeze, just bake when needed. See Note below for instructions.
Ingredients
32 oz. pkg. Southern Style Ore Ida Hash Browns (cubes or shredded)
1/2 c. chopped onion
8 oz. low-fat sour cream (Daisy)
4 Tbls. butter, melted
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 c. shredded low-fat cheese (mild, sharp)
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika or crushed cornflake crumbs, optional
Instructions
Mix all of the above ingredients and press into a greased 9 x 13" pan.
Sprinkle with crushed cornflake crumbs or paprika, just before baking.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
NOTE: I often make a head (keeping the hash browns frozen, just mix into sauce and cheese mixture). Then grease (2) 9x9 foil pans and divide mixture evenly between the 2 pans. Cover with foil, wrap entire pan in saran wrap and place each pan in a ziplock bag to freeze until you want to make another time. Just thaw in refrigerator overnight and bake as directed above. Huge time saver.
