Cheesy Potato Casserole

5 slices of bacon fried crisp and crumbled (everything is better with bacon!)

32 oz bag frozen hash browns (shredded or cubed)

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup

1 (10 3/4 ounce can cream of celery soup 

1 pint sour cream

1/2 cup onion, peeled and chopped

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray an 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray. 

Mix all of the above ingredients together, place in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until brown on top.

 

***I prefer to cook the casserole in the crockpot.  Use a crockpot liner for easy cleanup. and cook on low for 4 1/2 hours.

 

For a main dish: Add 2 cups of diced ham or 2 cups of cooked chicken.
