Рецепт Creamy Hashbrown Cheese Casserole
Creamy Hashbrown Cheese CasseroleLike the hashbrown casserole at Cracker Barrel? You'll love this one--creamier!
This recipe is a copycat of the copycat of the famous Cracker Barrel Restaurant dish.
Creamy and delicious!Basically, it's the same except for a couple of things.
First, I made the sauce creamier by adding another can of the soup--mainly because the original looked a bit dry to me--added a bit of sausage so it could be served as a main dish or even a breakfast and lastly mixed the cheeses.
I went with half cheddar and half Monterrey Jack because I really like the creaminess the Jack cheese imparts. Swiss would be nice here too for a nuttier flavor.
Add some sausage and it's a main dish or breakfastI also added some buttered cracker crumbs because to me, anything with a cheesy base is improved by having this on top. And it's very yummy!
