Loaded Baked Potato Casserole

Loaded Baked Potato Casserole

• 1 32 oz. bag frozen southern style hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1 6oz. can french fried onions
• 1 c. frozen peas, thawed
• 1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 cans Cream of Celery Soup
• 1 c. mild

1. Stir the potatoes, 1 1/3 c. onions, peas, cheese and bacon in a 13x9x2 inch shallow baking dish.  Mix the soup and milk in a 1 qt. bowl and pour over the potato mixture. Cover the dish.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot.  Uncover the dish and stir the potato mixture.

3. Sprinkle with the remaining onions. Bake for 5 minutes more or until onions are golden brown.

This was a great easy casserole but there are some things I may do differently next time. Fewer onions and maybe cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup instead of celery.  That's what I love about recipes. Try them once then do my own variations.  Enjoy!
