OVERNIGHT HASHED BROWN POTATOE CASSEROLE

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Vegetables Casseroles

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 lb Frozen hashed brown potatoes
1/4 lb Butter
1 pt Sour cream
1 cn Mushroom soup
8 oz Chedder cheese — shredded
1 Onion — grated
3/4 c Milk* (optional)

Cut butter into potatoes. Mix rest of ingred. together; pour over top of
potatoes. Toss. *1/4 – 3/4 c. milk can be used in place of one-half of
the sour cream. It will make a moister casserole, if desired. Bake in a
13×9″ pan @ 350 for 1/2 hr covered and an additional 1/2 hr. uncovered. I
have used Cheddar Cheese soup, but reduce the butter as it will be greasy
with both. I also put additional shredded cheese on top during the second
half hour of baking. Doubles well. Can be refrigerated overnight after
mixing all together. TSPN00B-LISA CRAWLEY

Title: Jalapeno Pizza Crust for the breadmachine
Categories: Breadmachin, Ornish, Low fat, Hot spicy
Yield: 4 crusts

1/2 c Lukewarm water
1 T Just Shortening or
Prune puree
3 T Chopped jalapenos w/ juice
1/4 t Salt
2 c Bread flour
1 t Active dry yeast

Place ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended
by your machine’s manufacturer. Set to dough cycle.

NOTE: Watch to dough and add more water slowly (up to 1/4 cup more)
until the dough obtains the proper consistency. Check the dough again
during the 2nd kneading — mine got a bit thin and I added some
organic blue corn meal until the consistency was right.

NOTE: Just Shortening can be purchased at your local health food
store and consists of a combination of plum puree and prune puree and
is a very thick consistency.
