This is one of my kids ♥ favorite dishes, ever since we attended their Track Banquet, and this was one of the dishes that was brought. Since then they would beg me to make it!
It was a big hit for this past Easter Dinner....there was maybe a spoonful left, and I was so looking forward to leftovers, oh well, guess I'll have to make some more real soon. ;) Thanks Gail Harshbarger (Akron, Ohio) for the recipe !!! (I was told, this is a recipe they have had in their family for a long time) I remembered Gail ;)
Here is what you need:
1 Bag of frozen Hash Browns Thawed (12-16 oz.)
1 Can Cream of Chicken
1 Tub of French Onion Chip Dip (8 oz.) (sure wish I had Lawson's Brand!)
2 Cups of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Topping
1 1/2 sleeves of Ritz Crackers
1 stick of Butter, melted
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease pan that would fit ( 8x8 -- I doubled my recipe, and it fit in a 13x9)
Mix Hash Browns, Cream of Chicken, French Onion Dip,and Cheese together in large bowl, once its thoroughly mixed spread into greased pan.
Crush sleeve and a half of crackers in a bowl and drizzle half the melted butter in crackers and stir, drizzle remaining butter and stir again. (I think my butter took about 30 seconds to melt in microwave,in 15 second increments.) Spread cracker mix on top of potatoes.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 more minutes to "golden up" the topping.
This dish would go with just about anything! Of coarse we had it with Ham and Green Beans at Easter and it was wonderful.
Its easy enough to put a big batch together for a party...let me warn you, you will get a lot of compliments and people asking for the recipe.
This is one of those recipes that you just know you are going to love!
Its filling and Oh so Good!
Its a cheesy-potato comfort food and easy to make, and we all like easy!!
All -in-one meals are so nice.
Its a keeper!

This dish fed 2 of us for 3 nights!! Pretty good deal, if I say so myself! :D
Here is what you need:
* 1 1/2 lbs. of Ground Beef (not pictured because I already cooked it, opps)
* Onion powder to taste (you can use real Onion, but I don't because my husband doesn't like them..its a texture thing. If you use real Onion you would want 1 small Onion chopped small.
* 1 tablespoon of Minced Garlic, or equivalent in fresh.
* 1 1/2 Cups of frozen Corn, or 1 can of Corn (we like frozen)
* 1 can of Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup.
* 2 Cups of Cheddar Cheese
* 1/2 Cup of Milk
* 4 tablespoons of Sour Cream
* 1 bag of Ore-Ida Crispy Crowns Tator Tots (they are the flat-ish ones.)
Set the Ore-Ida Crowns out on the counter to thaw a bit (I put mine on a paper towel)
In skillet, cook Ground Beef, Onion powder (or Onion) and Minced Garlic. When finished cooking, drain and set aside.
In a bowl combine Mushroom soup, Sour Cream, and Milk, stir until well blended...add the Hamburger Mix, 1 Cup of Cheese and the Corn, and gently mix till blended.
Grease a 13x9 Baking Dish and put a layer of Tater Tots on the bottom, scoop the meat mixer on top of Tater Tots and smooth it out. Add another layer of Tater Tots, then sprinkle remaining cheese.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes (I like my tater tots crispy,this dish will be done at 25-30 minutes if you don't like yours as crispy) Make sure they are golden brown though :)
Mmmmm!
