Warning: This Hot Dish is Addictive

Hi folks, this is a recipe recipe courtesy of my friend Laura (above right). She and I have been making it for a few years. She learned the recipe in a high school foods class.

Hash Brown Hot Dish

1 box hash brown squares
2 lbs ground beef/turkey/chicken/vegetable protein
2 cans cream of whatever you have on hand
1 cup milk
1 package American singles cheese
1 can French's onions

Preheat the oven to 375. Brown the meat until there is no pink left or brown the vegetable protein. Drain off the excess fat and set aside.
Layer the hash brown squares in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. They can still be frozen. If there is a few inches left, cut the hash browns to fit. Pour the meat over the hash browns.
Open the cans of soup and pour into a bowl. Add the milk and mix. Pour over the meat.
Layer the cheese slices over the soup. They can overlap a little.
Cover the pan in aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil, and sprinkle the onions on top in an even layer. Bake another 10 minutes and let rest about 10 minutes before enjoying.

This recipe is great for people who don't think they can cook. There isn't really any skill involved, except for browning the hamburger. You can use pretty much any ground meat, you could even use sausage. You could probably also use shredded cheese. The soup is also flexible, just use whatever cream soup you have on hand.
