Breakfast Potato Casserole
This recipe sounds very good but I had to question some of the ingredients listed in the original recipe, such as "country style" shredded hash browns, and the use of corn flakes. I aim for minimum processed and corn flakes are about as processed as you get, so this recipe is modified from the start. Also asked for in this recipe is condensed cream of chicken soup, 1/2 can only, for starters, use the shortcut to make this, you will get good soup, not chicken flavored water. This does sound good, and is on my to cook list. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, this is half a standard block, divided
- 500 grams hash browns, OR make from a shortcut
- 1/4 cup spring onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded, Sharp preferred
- 1/2 can condensed cream of chicken soup, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C. Put 1/4 cup of butter in a 8x8 baking dish (or a 9x13 if that is all you have), and place in the oven while it heats to melt the butter.
- Meanwhile combine hash browns (if making from the shortcut, follow the steps right up to the point before cooking them), green onion, sour cream, shredded cheese, and soup in a large bowl and mix well. Transfer mixture to the casserole dish after the butter has melted. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- While this is cooking, melt the other 1/4 cup of butter in a sauce pan and mix in the bread crumbs. At 30 minutes, pour the bread crumb mixture over the casserole and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve with some fried eggs and some sausage on the side, this can be a breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Notes
Most expensive item, even though this is a side, is the cheese at about 90 Baht for 1/2 block. Make the soup yourself and the buttermilk to replace the sour cream. This is about 67 cents per serving for 4 servings. Add some cooked eggs, you have a meal.
