Hash Brown Taters With Dogs

Total Time: 48 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 33 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 5 cups frozen hash browns, thawed (5 cups = 16-ounces)
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (or chicken, or celery)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 (3 ounce) package french-fried onions
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 8 jumbo size franks, cut lengthwise (but not cut all the way through)

Recipe

• 1 combine potatoes, soup, sour cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, salt and pepper.
• 2 spread in a greased 2-1/2 to 4-quart size baking dish. (i used a 4-quart size oval baking dish).
• 3 top with the partially sliced franks (slice size up).
• 4 cover, and bake 30 minutes in a 400 degree oven. (i did not cover the casserole, and it turned out great! but i think that's because i used jumbo sized franks, so they didn't over bake).
• 5 remove, uncover, and top with the other 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and the french fried onions.
• 6 place casserole back in the oven, (uncovered) and continue baking for 2-3 more minutes. (just until the cheese has melted, and french fried onions are lightly browned).
