This is an accidental recipe. I accidentally doubled the sour cream and cheese on a hectic holiday and everyone LOVED it! Leave it to a "fat gal" to double the "goody" of the recipe! If I don't make it this way, the family says...what did you do to it this time?? LOL

How To Make fat gal hashbrown potato casserole

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350.
  • Step 2
    Mix the first 8 ingredients together. (I thaw the hashbrowns at room temp., in a collander to remove excess liquid and make blending easier...it's not necessary). Pour into a prepared (pam or butter) 3 qt. casserole dish.
  • Step 3
    Choose which topping to use and mix with the butter. Pour over the casserole.
  • Step 4
    Cover casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 mins., to brown topping. Let stand at room temp. for 10 mins. to set some and serve.
  • Step 5
    **I often use light or fat-free sour cream. **I also cut back on the butter in the topping if it appears too "greasy"
