Hashbrown Casserole

Two of my favorite recipes in the whole world are Poppyseed Chicken and Hashbrown Casserole. I realized the other day that these recipes are not on this blog. I have this blog where I can locate or share a recipe easily and where one day, if my kids choose to cook, they can come here and get the recipe. I definitely don't want to leave out my very favorites so here is one of them. 

2 lbs. Ore-Ida Southern Syle hash browns

1/2 cup melted butter

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp mustard

2 T. onions

1 can cream of chicken soup

16 oz sour cream

2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese

Topping:

1/4 cup melted butter

2 cups crushed cornflakes

Thaw potatoes.  Mix all above ingredients and put into 9x13 inch pan.  Mix toppings together and sprinkle on top.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

SUPER easy and delicious!!!

Sugary Cinnamon Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls

Zesty Italian Crescent Casserole (Renee's Cheesy Cresent Roll Casserole)

A few weeks ago, I went to our marriage group (well, it's not really a marriage group but that's what I call it) in NLR and my friend, Renee, had made the yummiest casserole!! She brought me the recipe when we went to the zoo on Thursday. I didn't waste any time making it.  And, let me tell ya, it is DELICIOUS!!!

Zesty Italian Crescent Casserole

If I could name it, I would call it Renee's Cheesy Crescent Roll Casserole because that just sounds yummier to me. :)

1 lb. ground beef  (I used 1 1/2 pounds)

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 cup tomato sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or monterey jack cheese (I used 2 cups of mozzarella)

1/2 cup sour cream (I used 1 cup)

1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

2 T butter (I used 2 1/2)

If you haven't noticed, I added a little more of the yummiest ingredients and it was SCRUMPTIOUS!! To me if a little bit of butter, cheese, and sour cream are good, then a little bit more is even better. :)
   

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  In large skillet, cook ground beef and onion.  Drain.  Stir in tomato sauce.  In medium bowl, mix mozarella cheese and sour cream.

Pour ground beef mixture into ungreased 2 quart baking dish.  Spoon cheese mixture over the beef mixture.

Unroll cresent rolls and lay over top of cheese mixture.  In small bowl, mix parmesan cheese and melted butter.  Spread evenly over dough.  Bake at 375 for 18-25 minutes.  ENJOY!!! 

YUM!!

Chocolate Chip Cookies with pudding in the mix......my very favorite!!! :)

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup Crisco

1/4 cup sugar

3/4 cups brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 small package instant vanilla pudding

2 eggs

Beat well...then mix in 

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup chocolate chips

If you want, you can change the recipe by adding different flavors of pudding.  I love to add chocolate pudding with white chocolate chips.  I make 2 batches of each.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes

Eat and enjoy!!!!

It's funny because I don't know who I got this recipe from but it's my very favorite cookie recipe ever. 21 years ago, I was having a wedding shower and there was a gift with no card and this recipe was on it.  I still have the recipe and as you can see, it's been well used!! Whoever gave it to me sure knew my love language...passing along the best cookies ever!    

Have a happy happy day!!!
