Southern Hash Brown Casserole

Last night I made a really delicious casserole! My husband really liked it and kept saying how good it was. It was easy to make and didn't take too long to whip up. It does take awhile to cook, but it is really simple.

Here is what you need for this casserole:

1. 1 pound of Hamburger meat
2. 2 pounds Southern Hash Browns (any type hash browns will work though)
3. 1 stick of butter, or 1/2 cup butter melted
4. 3/4 to 1 cup sour cream
5. 1 to 2 cups shred cheese
6. 1 10 oz can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, or Cream of Chicken
7. Salt and pepper to taste

The first thing you will need to do is get your hamburger meat cooking. While the meat cooks, mix all of your other ingredients together. Make sure to mix everything really well. Also, I will mention it is good to let your hash browns sit out and thaw. It helps them mix better, and cook faster. Once you have mixed all the ingredients together, add them to your casserole dish. I use a 5 quart dish, but you can use a 9 x 13 but it will be full.

Turn the oven on to 350 degrees and let the casserole cook 35 to 40 minutes. you just need to make sure the hash browns have cooked thoroughly. You can either eat your casserole as is, or add another layer of cheese to the top and put it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese. After that, your casserole is done, and you are ready to serve!

This casserole is very good, and it feeds a big crowd. Add a few sides and you have a great southern meal! I love how simple and easy this is to make. So give it a try, and let me know what you think!
