Grandma's Hash Brown Casserole

My oldest cousin recently sent me this recipe, and I sent it on to my siblings. I finally made it today for MOPS and it was yummy! The pan was scraped clean... a good sign!

This recipe is actually is in my Grandma's handwriting, which I love to see... I miss her. She's been gone 12 years and I can still see her face, and hear her sing certain songs in church. :`(

Grandma's Hash Brown Casserole
2 lb hash browns
1 tsp salt
2 cups sour cream
2 Tbsp diced onion
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cans cream of celery soup
1 can cream of potato soup
2 cups grated cheese
2 cups crushed potato chips, or corn flakes (optional)

Ingredients laid out...

Before baking...

Thaw hash browns, mix all ingredients (except 1/3 cup cheese and crushed chips). Place in 9 X 12" pan and bake uncovered for 40-60 minutes at 350 degrees. This can easily be cut in half, or put in two 8 X 8" OR 9 X 9" pans, and freeze.

After baking, I added the cheese and chips, baked a little longer...

This is perfect for a MOPS meeting or a brunch. It was delicious!

And any cousins who didn't get the recipe, let me know, and I can send you a copy in Grandma's handwriting too!
