ham...broccoli....potatoes.... cheeeeeese... how much more dreamy can you get on a rainy cold autumn or winter evening?? cold? warm up with this.
this recipe is a giant, heavy 9x13 pan, usually with leftovers after this crew dives in. i use pork products: ham, ground sausage, polska kielbasa, brats... whatever is leftover and sitting in the freezer.... but i am sure you can use birds or cows. this is my ultimate "freezer casserole" because i always use leftover prepared meat that has been chopped & frozen, frozen broccoli, and frozen potatoes. takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, with a 45-60 min bake time.
32oz bag of frozen hash browns (the cubed potatoes, not the shredded stringy things)
2 cans cream of [whatever flavor you want] soup (i mix it up and combine flavors. wild thing. i know it.)
1 cup sour cream (yes, we use fake sour cream so i get to eat)
4-6 oz shredded cheddar cheese (i usually omit this and just sprinkle cheese on top as it is served because my fake cheese is too expensive to serve up all of us)
2 C chopped cooked ham
1 pound chopped broccoli
(i add french fried onions in the last 5 min for some zing)
salt & pepper to taste
combine soups, sour cream, and cheese in a large mixing bowl. i mean LARGE.
pour in potatoes, ham and broccoli. stir like mad until well combined.
spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. dump really cold mixture into prepared dish. even the casserole out. season.
bake at 350 x 45-60 minutes. add french fried onions in last five minutes.
nom on the couch wrapped in your favorite blankie, watching movies. or just at the table, playing uno. at least have the decency to put on slipper socks.
