What's for Dinner Wednesday

As usual, props to Krisco at Crib Ceiling for this. From the freezer again, this time it's:

Cheesy Potatoes with Ham

A serious warning for the faint of heart (or waist): This is NOT a low-calorie, low-fat or low-anything recipe. That said, it's quite yummy, and one of my favorite comfort foods.

---

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 c. sour cream
2 c. grated cheese
1 t. each salt, garlic powder and onion powder
2 c. chopped ham
24 oz frozen/thawed hash brown potatoes

Mix the soup, sour cream and salt and seasonings together in a big bowl (I'm not kidding about this). Stir in the cheese and ham, and then the hash browns. If you don't have time to thaw them, at least break them up a little on the counter. Stir it all together, and then pour (lurch) into a greased 13x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. OR cover and pop it in your freezer to have another time. It takes 90+ minutes to bake from frozen. If you like, you can put cornflakes on top the last 10 minutes of baking for that 1950s casserole je ne se qua. My kids like this because it's crunchy.

The original recipe asked you to sautee chopped onion and a clove of garlic in 1/2 c. of butter before adding. Ya...sure. I don't sautee anything for a recipe featuring a cream-of soup.
