Hashbrown casserole
There is just something about comfort food.
Ooey, Gooey, Cheesy, Warm, Filling Food that feeds your belly and your soul. Eaten with family and friends, this is the food that is served at baby showers, brunches, and afternoons with friends and family. The food of your childhood and your best memories.
Everyone has a recipe for Hashbrown Bakes and Casseroles, those recipes passed among friends and family. This is my recipe with some variations thrown in for you to try. It’s cheesy and gooey, hot and slightly crisp, while creamy, with just a dash of tang from the sour cream and a sweet bite from the onions.
What? You want the recipe? Okay
Basically, you take frozen hash browns, add some condensed soup, sour cream and cheese, add something crunchy on top ( if desired), and bake it into this yummy, cheesy pile. And really, who doesn't love a yummy, cheesy pile?
Hashbrown Casserole Ingredients
• Non-stick cooking spray
• 1 bag hash brown potatoes
• 1 can condensed cream soup, undiluted
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 1 small tub sour cream
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• OPTIONAL… top with crushed potato chips ,crushed corn flakes or Ritz crackers & a little melted butter ( personally I never use this option)
Hashbrown Casserole Instructions
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Combine the cream soup, butter or margarine, onion, sour cream, cheese, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
• Fold the hash browns into the cream mixture. Transfer to the greased casserole dish.
• Bake for about 40 minutes or until bubbly.
• If your crumbs are getting too toasty, cover the dish with tin foil, at that point, and put back in the oven.
• Serve or you can mix this the day before, refrigerate it & then cook it. ( if waiting don’t add topping)
• You can prepare ahead and freeze this.
Hashbrown Casserole Variations
• Omit onion salt & pepper…. Add onion soup mix
• Try different cream soups… I use whatever is on hand
• Try different cheese or combine them Parmesan, Mozzarella, Fontina, Provolone, Asiago and/or Romano
• Top with a can of French fried onions.
• vegetables such as peas or peas & carrots, green beans, corn, red or green pepper , mushrooms …etc
• Add parmesan cheese
• Add bacon
• To make it a full meal, add meat… any kind (chopped turkey, sausage, chicken, ham, or ground meat).
• For the last 10 minutes of baking, add a fresh topping of cheese.

Oven- Fried Onion Rings
Oven-Fried Onion Rings
 |
| Picture Courtesy of: Bless Us O Lord |
about six side-dish servings
2 medium (or 1 large) sweet onions, sliced ½-inch thick
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ cup buttermilk
1 egg
¼ cup + 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
1½ cups crushed potato chips (kettle-cooked chips, if available)
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.Combine ¼ cup flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a bowl.In another bowl combine the buttermilk, egg and additional flour, whisking until a smooth batter is formed.In a third bowl, place the crushed potato chips.
Prepare the onion rings by first dipping a ring into the seasoned flour, then into the batter (let the excess batter drip off), and then coat with the crushed potato chips. As you finish the rings, place them on a large plate. Repeat with all rings (make sure you have all the rings breaded before you proceed).
Cover a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper (or aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray -- I used two cooking sheets so they would have plenty of room). Drizzle the vegetable oil on the parchment-lined sheet and place in the oven for 8 minutes. Carefully remove the sheet from the oven and tilt to evenly coat with oil.
Working quickly, place your onion rings on the baking sheet and return to oven. Bake for 8 minutes, then flip onion rings (carefully or the breading will come off) and bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown.
While baking, prepare your dipping sauce!
Dipping Sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons ketchup
2 Tablespoons horseradish
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
Dash ground black pepper
Dash cayenne pepper
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate.
