baronessekatI was hosting Sunday brunch this weekend. I usually make the cheesy hashbrowns that I did as a GRE in 2010 (http://baronessekat.livejournal.com/626436.html). But I came across one for the slow cooker that sounded like a wonderful thing so I could use my oven for other things (like Nectarine Scones and stuff). So...
Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Casserole
From: http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/05/slow-cooker-ham-and-potato-casserole.html
Ingredients:
1 (30 oz) package frozen hash brown potatoes, cubed or shredded
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
1 (10.75 oz) can reduced fat cream of chicken soup
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 cups cooked chopped ham (ham leftovers are perfect for this recipe!)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 (6 oz) package, herb-seasoned stuffing mix
Directions:
Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. *Note, I used a liner to prevent the sticking Combine hash browns, dried onion, salt, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheese, and ham and place in slow cooker. Sprinkle stuffing mix over top, then drizzle melted butter over stuffing. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high 2-4 hours.
Variation Because I was having vegetarians at Brunch I wanted to make this so they could eat it too. So I changed the soup to cream of mushroom rather than cream of chicken and left the ham out. I may try this sometime just for me the way it reads to see how it comes out.
Thoughts It was good. I like the other one a little better so maybe next time I will try that one in the crockpot. This one seems a little on the bland side without the peppers in it. But people went back for seconds so I think that it was a success.
