** Looks Gross, Tastes Delicious!
adapted from a recipe at Taste of Home
1 1/2 pounds soy beef (or regular ground beef for the meat-eaters)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons sour cream
1 package of frozen hash brown patties (8 total- I got mine at Trader Joes), thawed
Directions:
In a large skillet cook the onion until tender and translucent. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the beef and cook over medium heat for a few minutes (or until no longer pink. Drain the mixture if using real beef) and place into a large bowl and set aside.
In a small bowl combine the soup, milk and sour cream. Whisk until smooth. Add to hamburger mixture and stir to combine. Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Gently mix to combine.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the hamburger mixture in and then place the hash browns on top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.
