POTATO CASSEROLE WITH CREAM CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 2 quart casserole dish.
• In a large bowl, mix together the hash brown potatoes, 1/2 cup butter, salt, pepper, onion, cream of chicken soup, sour cream and Cheddar cheese. Transfer the mixture to the casserole dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix the whole wheat flake cereal and remaining butter; sprinkle over potato mixture.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the onion. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the garlic. Cook until the onion are slightly softened, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheddar, hash brown potatoes and the onion mixture. Transfer to a greased three-quart casserole dish. Cover the casserole and bake for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, place the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Cover and microwave for 45 to 60 seconds until melted. Mix in the breadcrumbs and parsley.  Top the casserole with the breadcrumb mixture and return to the oven, uncovered, for another 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly all over.
