Party Potatoes

This is the exact recipe I used for the cheesy potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner.
Makes two 9x13 dishes.
Cook time 1 hr.

Filling
- 2 24 oz. bags Southwest Style hash browns
- 3 cans cream of chicken soup
- over half of my 3 lb. container of sour cream
- 2 lb. block of medium cheddar cheese

Topping
- half a gallon ziplock full of corn flakes
- half a stick of butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees*. Mix filling ingredients in large bowl. Pour into two 9x13 casserole dishes. Bake for 45 minutes*.

Meanwhile, melt butter and crunch up corn flakes. Pour and mix melted butter into corn flakes. Spread on top of casseroles and cook for an additional 15 minutes*.

I usually only make one casserole and use
- 1 16 oz bag of southwest style hash browns
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- 16 oz of sour cream
- 1/2-1 lb. of cheese
- a lot of corn flakes
- a couple tablespoons of butter

*To speed things up, I have cooked at 400 degrees for a half hour plus 10 minutes with crunchies. I do think it comes out better the long way, though.

Sour Cream Apple Pie

Pastry for a single-crust pie
2 slightly beaten eggs
1 cup Dairy sour cream
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups coarsely chopped, peeled cooking apples

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Prepare and roll out pastry. Line a 9-inch pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond the edge of pie plate. Flute edge; do not prick pastry.

In mixing bowl combine eggs and sour cream; stir in granulated sugar, the 2 tablespoons of flour, the vanilla, and salt. Stir in apples. Pour apple mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. To prevent over-browning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter, stir in brown sugar and the 1/4 cup flour. Remove foil from pie. Dot top of pie with brown sugar mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or till filling is set. Cool thoroughly on rack. Cover; chill to store.

Happy Pi Day!!
