Cracked Out Hashbrown Casserole

-

This is not a pretty dish. There's no good way to make it pretty. So, I will just tell you it's good and stick with that. I did divide this one up before baking into a pan for the oven and a pan for the freezer. 


Ingredients:

1 bag frozen shredded hashbrowns

1 bag of shredded cheese (2 c)

2 16 oz containers of sour cream

2 bags bacon pieces

1 package of Ranch seasoning


Directions:

Mix sour cream, Ranch, most of the cheese (save a little for top of dish), and bacon pieces. Stir in hashbrowns. Pour into casserole dish (I used an 8x8 square one, but the entire amount will fit into 9x11 dish). Top with a little shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. 

*If freezing, prepare up to baking and cover with foil. When ready to bake, leave foil on top and bake for an hour. Remove foil and bake for another 15 min until cheese is melted and center of dish is hot.

  This one was an online find and a "new to me" recipe. Apparently, it came from TikTok. The boys really liked it, and I can say that it reheats really well. It comes together in about 20 min if you have everything going at the same time like I did. I actually got it ready around lunchtime and popped it into the fridge to bake later that evening for dinner. Ingredients: 1 T olive oil 1/2 onion, diced 1 lb ground beef 1 T minced garlic 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 28 oz jar marinara (I really like Carbone's) 2 cups mozzarella 1 lb spaghetti noodles Alfredo Sauce: 8 T salted butter (I used unsalted) 2 C heavy cream 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 T Italian seasoning 2 C grated parmesan Instructions: Preheat oven to 350. Add oil to skillet and brown grown beef and onion. Once browned, add garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for one minute longer. Drain any fat then add marinara to meat mixture. While making alfredo sauce, boil water for noodle in a separate pot and cook according to direct...

Cream Cheese Sausage Balls

  I've been on a wee bit of a hiatus - 8 months "ish". At first, the lighting was so bad in the winter to take pictures that everything looked awful in photos. Then, life started lifeing. Right at the tail end of the school year my husband got a new job offer, and the next few months were a whirlwind of house hunting, packing, moving, settling in, getting kids situated and registered for school, and have I mentioned my husband hasn't actually moved here with us yet? Whew! But hopefully I can get back into posting, and this house has FABULOUS natural light. The other morning as school was starting I was very thankful for this "prepare ahead" breakfast favorite. They are easy, delicious, and they keep for days in the fridge. My middle has eaten them for breakfast and also packed some for lunch. Ingredients: 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1 lb hot sausage, uncooked 1 cups sharp shredded cheddar 1 1/4 c. bisquick baking mix Directions: Preheat oven to 400. Mix all ...

My favorite chicken salad from Chicken Salad Chick is the Sassy Scotty. It has ranch, chicken, and bacon. My boys love it, too. As it turns out, you can make a pretty spot on duplicate at home for a WHOLE LOT LESS that is delicious. If you like this chicken salad, or if you want to jazz up a plain chicken salad this recipe is a must. Ingredients: 1 lb chicken tenderloins 1 rib celery, finely diced 3/4 c mayo. For the love of all things good in the world, please use Duke's 3 T ranch dressing - this Litehouse ranch is really good 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder Salt and Pepper to taste 1/2 c real bacon pieces 1/2 c shredded cheddar Directions: Boil chicken tenders until done. Shred while warm using a mixer to get the best results. While the chicken cooks, mix all other ingredients. Once chicken cools, add in chicken and refrigerate. Enjoy!
