Worthy of a Special Occasion

Prep: 10 min.; Bake: 1 hr., 20 min. You'll love the ease of this casserole. You can make it ahead of time, refrigerate it, and then bake it while the turkey rests. It's smart to let chilled casseroles come to room temperature before you bake them.

Yield: Makes 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1  (32-ounce) package frozen Southern-style hash browns
  • 1  (16-ounce) container sour cream
  • 2  cups  (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1  (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1  small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2  cups  crushed cornflakes cereal
  • 1/4  cup  melted butter

Preparation

Stir together first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.

Spoon potato mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with crushed cornflakes, and drizzle evenly with butter.

Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until bubbly.

Note: For testing purposes only, we used Ore-Ida Southern Style Hash Browns.

This recipe makes a very tasty potato side dish. I substitute Ore Ida O'Brien hash browns for the southern hash browns to give it a bit more flavor. The hash browns have peppers & onions already in them. I also used cream of chicken soup instead of the mushroom. It makes for a casserole that always disappears quickly at carry-ins & I am always asked for the recipe!08/23/09

I brought this to a friends house for Christmas Eve dinner and everyone loved it. I have also passed the recipe on to my niece to use at the family Christmas party. I accidently baked it at a higher temperature and it came out fine, it just didn't take as long to bake. I will definitely make this again and and I will pass the recipe on to others. Also you can use low fat sour cream and soup to lower the calorie and fat count..12/27/08
