Here’s the recipe for the potato casserole that my office loves and devours every time I bring it.

Hash Brown Casserole

2 lb bag of frozen hash brown potatoes (the cubes), thawed
1/2 C melted butter
1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup
1 Tbsp dried minced onion
1-2 C sour cream
2 C grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
bread crumbs, for topping

Mix all ingredients (except bread crumbs) together well and pour into a 9x13 casserole. Top with bread crumbs. Bake for 1 hour in 350F degree oven.

For our office luncheons, I double the recipe and pour the mixture into a crock pot. I have one of those crock pots with the removable bowl, so I put that in the oven for an hour and then I finish the cooking in the crock pot in the hours between when I get to the office and when we eat. Plus it’s an easy way to keep them hot all day.
