1 (32 oz) package frozen hash browns, thawed (i hadn't noticed the thawed so it explains why the middle was still frozen the last time i cooked this. a few minutes in the microwave took care of that. so if you forget to thaw the potatoes, bake this a while longer. ) |
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine (real butter really makes them taste good, the hell with cholesterol and trans fats) |
1 can cream of chicken soup |
12 grated cheddar cheese (i guesstimate this, you can't have too much cheese) |
1 cup sour cream (are you getting a theme here , you can just hear your arteries slam shut while you eat it) |
1 tsp salt (moderation in something) |
1/2 small onion, chopped |
topping |
2 cups crushed crackers (i got tired of crushing crackers so i used plain bread crumbs |
1/2 cup melted butter (gets better and better) |
