Hash Brown Potato Casserole

ingredients

Serves 10-12
2 lbs frozen hash brown potatoes
4 cups grated Cheddar Cheese
One 10 3/4- oz. Can cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
(I added splashes of Tabasco and chopped fresh garlic. Next time I might chop some Rosemary too.)

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a Large bowl, combine the potatoes, 2 cups of the Cheddar, the soup, sour cream, butter, onion and Seasoning. Place in a buttered 13 X 9 X 2-inch pan and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the remaining Cheddar. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes longer.

Variation: Instead of topping the casserole with cheese, you may use 2 cups crushed Ritz Crackers mixed with a 1/2 cup melted butter.
