Ham and Hash Brown Casserole

This meal is a nice one to have in the freezer for a nice brunch meal…or you can eat it for supper like we do.  Our boys just love it.  How can you go wrong with ham, potatoes, and cheese?

HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

1  10.75 oz. can cream of chicken soup

1 8 oz. carton light sour cream

4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes

1 cup diced cooked ham (I use way more if it’s going to be a main course dish)

1 cup cubed American cheese

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

1 cup cornflakes (or cracker crumbs)

3 tablespoons butter, melted

In a large bowl, combine soup and sour cream.  Stir in frozen potatoes, ham, cheese, onion, and pepper.  Transfer mixture into an ungreased 2 quart square baking dish.  In a small bowl, combine cornflakes and melted butter.  Sprinkle over potato mixture.  Cover with foil and freeze.

When ready to use, thaw and bake at 350 degrees – uncovered – for 50-55 minutes or until bubbly.  Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.  Makes 6 servings.
