The BEST potato casserole according to my family anyway LOL! I like to use the same amount (weight) of O’Brien potatoes (w/onions & peppers in the mix). You can get the same effect by adding 3/4 cup diced red & green bell pepper with the potatoes.
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 12 to 16
Cook Time: 75 minutesIngredients
2lb. bag frozen Southern Style hashbrown potatoes (thawed – these are the diced potatoes, not shredded, but you can use a 30 oz. bag of the shredded)
1 stick margarine, divided in half
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
16 oz. sour cream
8 oz. grated cheddar cheese
1 tsp. garlic salt (I use powder)
2/3 cup milk
2 cups corn flakes
Directions
Melt 1/2 stick margarine in oven in a 13 x 9 pan.
Pour thawed potatoes over melted margarine.
Mix onion, soups, sour cream, cheese, garlic salt & milk & pour mixture evenly over potatoes.
Crush the cornflakes & toss with the other 1/2 stick of melted margarine.
Sprinkle crumbs evenly over casserole.
Bake uncovered at 350ยบ for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I made this yesterday and it was a HUGE hit! I made my own hashbrowns and added in the peppers. I also used the Condensed Cream of Soup Mix (just used beef and chicken and made them up in the same pan) and Quick Cheese.
A wonderful, wonderful dish with great flavor!
This could easily be used as an all in one meal, just add in some diced meat of any sort. We had a little bit of leftovers (enough for the 2 of us)…I’m mixing in the pork loin with the potatoes for dinner tonight.

If you’re bringing this to a meal, do you pre-cook it and then reheat? Any clues as to temp and time for reheat?
If making for a big dinner, can you prepare the night before and bake with your ham, turkey, whatever?
