What We’re Eating: Cheesy Potato Casserole

Image Source: Ore-Ida

I originally was going to try another recipe, but then I saw this CHEESY POTATO CASSEROLE on the back of the bag so I gave it a try.

CHANGES
We didn’t have the green onions, so we skipped that. The only shredded cheese we had was Cheddar Jack.

SUGGESTIONS
Use the exact ingredients. I think the green onions would have definitely brought in that flavor that we were missing. I think have straight cheddar cheese would have been better too. Make sure to have some ketchup on hand to squirt a little (or a lot if you’re Norm!) on the side or the top for added flavor.

VERDICT
Norm and I liked it. The girls, not so much. I thought that was strange because they love hash browns and they love sour cream (as in, they would eat it by the spoonful plain…eck! but they’ve done it before when we have it with quesadillas). Luckily some of my family members stopped by the next day, and helped me to eat the leftovers. They liked it too. Jen will be making it this weekend for fellowship dinner? I think you can prepare a day in advanced. Not bad as leftovers, but not that best either.
