Recipe - Hash Brown Casserole (Mackinnon)

2 pound Hashed brown potatoes,
frozen
One half cup Chopped onions, or more
10 ounce Grated cheddar cheese
16 ounce Sour cream
10 ounce Cream of chicken soup,
condensed
1 teaspoon Salt
Pepper, to taste
8 ounce Margarine, divided
Breadcrumbs for topping

Make ahead casserole from Caterer Pat MacKinnon of Pat's Palatables in
Summerville, SC.

Mix thoroughly the hash browns, onions, cheese, sour cream, soup, salt,
pepper and 4 ounces of the margarine, melted. Place in a greased 3quart
casserole dish. Cover top with breadcrumbs and pour remaining 4 ounces
margarine over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 10
minutes. MacKinnon also shares a recipe for Hash Brown Casserole, a
popular side dish that goes with any meat. Cooked regular potatoes don't
freeze well, she says, but this dish, made with frozen hash browns, makes a
great keeper in the freezer.

MacKinnon thaws the casserole for about an hour before baking then covers
it loosely with foil for about half the baking time. The casserole is done
when it's bubbling and browned on top.
