My new fave Hashbrown Casserole recipe. I am always tweaking my old recipes, this is what I have come up with as of late, love it. Super creamy!
1 bag frozen hashbrowns
1/2 block velveeta cheese, cubed
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 can cream of onion soup
1 stick of butter
1 cup sour cream
1 can evaporated milk
4 cloves garlic, grated or minced
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
1 tbsp parsley
Mix everything but the hashrowns together in large mixing bowl. After all ingredients are well combined add frozen hashbrowns and mix thoroughly. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish. *Optional- top with a couple handfuls of the "french fried onions" that we all love on casseroles.*
Bake at 425 for 45-50 minutes.
As with any hashbrown casserole, make it your own by tossing in other ingredients! Spice it up with peppers, make it a one dish meal with sliced smoked sausage coins, add veggies etc.

Hash brown Casserole
Does it get any more comfort food than this? Love it!
1 1/2 bags frozen shredded hash browns (each bag is 30oz for total of 45oz used)
1 stick of butter, really soft-almost melted
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 1/2 Tbsp onion powder (Exchange: could substitute a minced 1/2-1 small yellow onion and saute in butter before adding to recipe)
1 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper (adjust to taste)
16 oz shredded cheddar (I prefer sharp as it adds more flavor for less amount, use what you like)
1 24oz tub sour cream
2 cans of Cream of Celery soup (Exchange: could substitute with cream of mushroom or cream of chicken)
1 tsp dried thyme
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Set hash browns out in a bowl to thaw. Once they are thawed combine all remaining ingredients, RESERVING 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese for topping. Mix well. Spread in a large greased baking dish. (I use the 9x13 Pyrex.) Place baking dish on a cookie sheet in case of a boil over and top dish with remaining cheese. Bake for @55 minutes. After about 30 minutes into bake time check to see if casserole needs covered with foil to prevent over browning/burning. Let cool for @10 minutes before serving as it will be piping hot and need time to set.
This is a great one to play with. Add sliced mushrooms, shredded carrots, onions, shredded zucchini, etc. Add a kick with some chopped peppers, or use a cheese blend instead of just cheddar. Also good topped with the "fried onions" we all love on our green bean casserole. Make it a one dish meal by adding sliced smoked sausage coins, diced cooked chicken breasts, browned ground beef, cubed ham, or whatever your favorite is. Please do keep in mind if you are adding a lot of items to the dish that you may need to split the dish into two baking dishes to allow room and minimize boil overs. Great opportunity to try it two ways! Perfect for pot lucks, bbqs, company. Great at breakfast, lunch or dinner. I think it tastes even better the second day. Enjoy!

Herbed Fingerling Potatoes
One of our fave side dishes! This recipe will make a huge pot of these potatoes as we love them for left overs. Cut in half if you just want to make them for the average family dinner. :)
2 bags of gourmet fingerling potatoes (I like to get one back of the "regulars" and one bag of the purples)
Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 sticks of butter
2 tbsp chives
2 tbsp parsley
2 tbsp dill
Clean potatoes and put in large dutch oven. Cover with water, add @ 2 tsp salt and put on high heat to boil. Once boil is achieved turn down heat to maintain a slow boil for @10 minutes, or until just fork tender. Drain off all water, return potatoes to dutch oven and place back on burner on medium heat. Add butter, garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let cook over a lowish medium heat for @10 more minutes (0r as long as you like without burning). Stir a couple of times to prevent burning. The potatoes will get a little golden crisp on some sides and the butter and herbs will melt and coat the potatoes with a TON of flavor! Super easy side dish that looks and tastes impressive! A family fave here.

Fried Potatoes and Sausage
Toss a quick salad to go with this and dinner is served.
2 1/2 lbs. Russet Potatoes, peeled and sliced @1/4" thick
5 Tbsp Oil (I like to use butter flavored Crisco for this)
@1 Tbsp salt, to taste
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 oz. Smoked Sausage (or Polish Sausage, or Kielbasa), sliced in 1/2" segments
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
Heat oil in pan over medium heat and add potatoes. Toss potatoes in oil to cover them and then add: salt, pepper, thyme, onion, and garlic.
Continue cooking over medium to medium high heat (depending on stove) for @ 20 minutes, making sure to "flip" the potatoes over occasionally to prevent burning.
When potatoes are almost cooked through add the sausage and flip again. Cook @ 10 minutes until potatoes are tender and sausage is starting to brown.
Check for seasoning, add salt and pepper as needed, and serve hot.
