Reviews
I will make this again with the changes that I made: added garlic and fresh asparagus, exchanged out for cream of asparagus soup.
I made this and omitted the sour cream and found it to be very tasty
Excellent. I used russet potatoes shredded instead of a bag or hash browns. Reheated very well after two days. No real loss of taste. The white pepper and Cayenne are a good combination. Not overpowering but good taste. I did not use the sour cream. I have also made it without the crackers and used more corn flakes. I think this is better if you plan to reheat it.
Loved it! I added a little pinch of salt, extra cheese and some crispy bacon crumbles and it was delish!
Loved the crunchy topping of crushed cheese crackers and corn flakes. More flavorful and crispier than other suggested toppings for this very typical hash brown casserole.
