Hasty Kitchen

I am a huge fan of the Pioneer Woman. I just can't believe how she gets so much done, and still has time for her Marlboro Man. She cooks, she decorates, she homeschools her children, she takes hundreds of pictures, and she reads what has to be thousands of comments on her blog. How does she do it all?

One thing I love is the Cooking segment of her blog. Don't you just love how she showcases all of her ingredients?

So today, I thought I would share a recipe with you. It may be one you are already familiar with, but our family found it last summer when we were staying with some friends in Illinois.

It's a quick, easy hash brown potato recipe that makes lots for company and is great for a pot luck dinner.

The cast of characters (ingredients) -

Start by thawing the frozen Southern style Hash Browns.

Combine 2 cans Cream of Chicken soup with 3/4 cups sour cream and 1/4 cup mayonnaise.

(If you like a little twang in the casserole, use 1/4 cup plain yogurt instead of the mayo)

Next chop onions and add to mixture.

Add the cheese

and half stick of butter (sliced thin)
Add thawed hash brown potatoes
and mix well.
Spray a large casserole dish with cooking spray.

Pour mixture into casserole dish.
Melt the other 1/2 of butter.

I crush up corn flakes and add it to the butter, and stir, stir, stir until the corn flakes are well mixed with the butter.

It should be about 2 cups. Spread corn flake mixture over the casserole.

And place in a 350 degree oven for 60 minutes.

After 60 minutes, take out of the oven and serve!

My family really loves this casserole. We enjoy it with grilled hamburgers, or as a compliment for breakfast eggs in the morning. It makes enough to take to a pot luck dinner. There are usually no left overs.

Here is the recipe -
