Ingredients

  • 7 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (*)
  • 1 lb ground beef (**)
  • 12 cup chopped onion, cooked
  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (***)
  • 6 ounces cheddar cheese (1 1/2 cups) or 6 ounces colby cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9-inch pan.
  • Line the prepared pan with frozen hash browns.
  • Brown onion with burger in non-stick pan.
  • Mix the soups with burger-onion mixture.
  • Spread carefully over hash browns.
  • Cover with shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • To freeze this I divide it into portions appropriate to my appetite, usually 6 for this size pan.
  • Wrap the way you usually do to freeze or freeze on cookie sheet and vacuumn seal each frozen portion.
  • To re-heat frozen portions you can use your microwave.
  • Either thaw first or from frozen.
  • Time varies due to wattage of ;your microwave.
  • You can also reheat in conventional oven from frozen or thawed state.
  • Use 350 degree oven, cover loosely with foil and heat fo about 20 minutes.
  • If using vacuumn sealed bags you could actually boil in the bag according to your particular sealer directions.
  • *I recommend using measuring cups, as I found the frozen 32 oz bag to actually contain 9 cups.
  • **Frozen Ground Meatless Burger Crumble.
  • ***Use two cans (10 3/4 oz each) of the Cream of Mushroom, if a vegetarian.
