Ooey Gooey Cheesiness in a casserole with potatoes - what's not to love? Creamy and delicious just like the real thing. When my daughter became a vegetarian she really missed the Cracker Barrel™ Hash Brown Casserole (and so many other vegetarian dishes restaurants sneak chicken broth into).

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh or frozen hash browns if frozen, thawed
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup cream cheese, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Prepare an 11 x 14-inch casserole or baking dish by buttering the sides or using your favorite cooking spray.
  2. In large bowl, combine all ingredients (except 1/2 cup of reserved cheese) and fold ingredients to blend.
  3. Spread potato mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
  4. Top with reserved cheese.

  5. Bake for 45 minutes until top is golden brown. If the top is getting too brown cover with foil.  If the top isn't brown enough, broil for 5 minutes before serving.

  6. Let rest 5 minutes before serving hot.

Recipe Notes

Stress-free Entertaining Option:

Place everything in a slow cooker and cook overnight and you'll have one less thing to do for breakfast the next morning.  I use this method often during the holidays or when I have a house full of guests.  Super easy and so good.

Vampiro Tequila Cocktail with Jalisco Sangrita

Vampiro Tequila Cocktail with Jalisco Sangrita

Cocktails, Eat & Drink

Vampiro Tequila Cocktail with Jalisco Sangrita. This spicy tequila cocktail mixed with a traditional Jalisco Sangrita. Sangrita’s are my new cocktail obsession. Sangrita or “little blood” has traditionally been served as a chaser for excellent quality tequila. It would have been a mixture of fruit juices and finely ground chili pepper. Many sangrita recipes call for tomato juice, but that would not have been part of the traditional recipe, the original recipe would have been made from leftover juice from fresh fruit salads and changed based on the fruits used.

Today’s cocktail culture is creating very intriguing sangritas as an ingredient in some pretty amazing tequila cocktails. This recipe calls for a combination of grapefruit, orange, and lime with a touch of spicy jalapeno pepper.

Famous New Orleans Morning Call Beignets are by far my favorite beignet in the New Orleans area. Served with café au lait beignets are quintessential New Orleans breakfast or late night treat, and makes an awesome brunch dessert.
