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.
