Hash Brown Casserole
This might not look all that pretty, or appetizing, but let me tell you, looks are deceiving. This. Is. Amazing! We are having a house built here in Texas and our Construction Manager, Mike, talked with my man yesterday about the framing and took him through the house and pointed out each room. Well, one thing led to another and I was making this again (for the second time in 3 days) and delivering a bowl full to Mike. He loved it and his daughter as well. One of my greatest happiness is sharing food and having others love what they are eating. This is a winner my friends!
