Hashbrown Casserole
This recipe was adapted from the more traditional hashbrown casserole with cream of chicken soup and ground beef. I made this up one night when the pantry was bare and now it is a favorite!
Ingredients:
- Frozen hashbrown potatoes
- Ground sausage (think Jimmy Dean etc)
- Can of Baked Beans
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
- Layer hashbrowns in the bottom of a casserole dish - I usually do about an inch deep in a smaller casserole dish. You don't want to use a big 9x13 for this recipe or it will be too thin.
- Brown sausage and mix with baked beans
- Pour over hashbrowns and top with cheddar cheese
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes
