  • This is literally the easiest recipe of all time not even kidding. One of my best friends and college roommates used to make this for potlucks, and I’m not sure where she actually got the recipe from, but it’s one I still make often. It doesn’t get more Midwest than this!
    Ingredients:
    32 oz frozen hash browns
    2 cups shredded chicken (optional depending if you want this to be a main or side dish)
    32 oz sour cream
    2 Hidden Valley Ranch packets
    6-10 oz bacon bits
    2 cups shredded cheese
    1 cup shredded cheese to add on top at the end
    Preheat oven to 400°. Mix all ingredients except for 1 cup of cheese together and put in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until it starts to get golden brown. Sprinkle the extra cup of shredded cheese and put back into the oven until it’s melted. Serve and enjoy!

    Erin. You are an amazing young lady. Keep being a real person on you videos. That sets you apart from some of the others. Don't feel pressured to edit out the mistakes. That's what makes you so popular, you aren't insecure about your mistakes. And your mannerisms and facial expressions make you adorable. You should hit 50k subs within the next two weeks. Best wishes!

      An American comedian named Groucho Marx had a talk show on which he had average American folk from across America. One such guest was a woman from whom, during the conversation, he discovered had a great number of children. He replied in astonishment saying "I like a good cigar too but I take it out of my mouth once in a while." This was back in the days when people just did NOT make such comments on a TV show. Any sensors watching/listening probably had a heart attack. ;^D It's a very famous or infamous line, depending on how you look at it. I hope that what ever may come in life you'll always have the blessings of a happy family.

Then after chow the cookie sheets of Tollhouse cookies and ice cold milk would be desert! 7 kids plus who-knows-who else visiting and yep,it took several sheets for desert plus some for the giant jar. Kudos to moms/cooks from all generations! I love you all!

    Try adding a couple of chopped red onions, perhaps the separated cloves from a whole bulb of garlic, mashed, chopped-up or left whole, and also the juice of large lemon, then some freshly-ground black or white pepper to your casserole-mix. Perhaps also some slices of fresh tomatoes across the top of the casserole just before you put it in the oven. Cheese and tomatoes really do go well together. Your casserole certainly looks like it would taste delicious. Good comfort food to keep you warm in the colder months of winter.
