EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The frozen potato mixture contains bell peppers and onions, but if your family likes lots of onion flavor, feel free to add 1/4 cup chopped onion to the meat mixture before cooking.

To complete the meal, add a tossed green salad topped with your favorite dressing.

This looked really good all the way up to coming out of the oven, but I thought it was terrible, I love Swiss cheese, but I do not think it went well with this dish at all, maybe a mixed blend instead. I had to have bread and butter with it just to get something more from it, it definitely is really bland so do not forget your seasonings!! It may help, I'm not sure, but not something I will unfortunately try again.

Very easy meal. A little on the bland side though. I like to stick to the recipe the first time I make something new. Next time, I will experiment with spice and cream of mushroom soup.

I have been making this casserole for years with some variations. For the liquid I usually blend a can of gravy and cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery. I also like to use a 60/40 blend of beef and pork instead of just beef. For the cheese I use whatever is in the fridge; cheddar, jack, mozzarella, provolone or I blend two or three of them. Seasoning can be tricky, read gravy and soup labels for sodium content. Also works great with mini tator tots instead of hash browns.
