Sheree's Homemade Cooking Made Easy

This is my recipe that I have made for several years of hashbrown casserole. I have seen many different recipes of this online but me and my family are not a big fan of the canned cream of soups so I decided to see if I could make up a recipe without it and it was delicious. You will need the following ingredients:

Recipe:

20 oz of refrigerated hash browns

3 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of flour

1/2 cup of onion, diced finely

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup of sour cream

2 cups of cheddar cheese, I used sharp and mild cheddars

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium saucepan, that is on medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced onion and cook until the onion is soft. This will take about 3 – 5 minutes.

Add the flour, salt and pepper and stir for 3 minutes. Add the milk and cook until it gets thick. This will take about 5 minutes or so.

Place the hash brown mixture into a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish and bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 – 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Note: You can substitute any cheese that you like. I have used colby and colby jack in this recipe several times. You can also use chicken broth instead of milk.

I like to serve this as a side with some cooked beans and cornbread or as a breakfast side on those special occasions.
