Cheesy Salsa Hashbrown Bake
Sunday, 27 Oct 2013
As the weather cools down, warm, cheesy brunch dishes start sounding pretty good. This is so easy to throw together and feeds a crowd. I started with the recipe Easy Cheesy Salsa Potatoes and made a few modifications. I had sour cream on hand, but not condensed canned cheese soup, so that was one change. I also sprinkled grated fresh Parmesan and cheddar on top of the dish for the crunchy brown topping instead of bread crumbs. Finally, I added some chopped cooked bacon for a little extra flavor. Here’s the final modified recipe:
- 8oz. (2 cups) shredded Cheddar cheese (reserve a couple pinches)
- 1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 8 oz. sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 (24-oz.) pkg. (about 8 cups) frozen hash-brown potatoes, thawed (or use refrigerated)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
-
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13×9-inch baking dish with 1 tbsp melted butter. Combine cheddar cheese, salsa, onion, sour cream, bacon and pepper in large bowl, mixing well. Add potatoes; mix well. Spread in greased dish. Sprinkle reserved cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese over top of dish. pour remaining melted butter over cheese. Bake at 350°F. for 60 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned and potatoes are tender.
