Very good. I used two cans of the cream of chicken soup and left out the onions and butter and cornflakes. I can see how two cans of cream of cheddar soup would be great as well. I made a note on my recipe to add a splash of milk next time as well, because they were a tad too thick this time; I think a little more creaminess would be nice. I used shredded hash browns, so I think shredded rather than cubed cheese works better in that case. I wish the original recipe had specified whether to use the suqare or shredded potatoes, because I wasn't sure which. A nice way to make a big pan of potatoes without too much hassle. Easy to customize to your own personal taste: I could see throwing in some ham, etc. OH and you DO need BOTH the cans of the soup unless you want to add more sour cream. There are variations of this recipe that call for ONE can, but note the additional sour cream. PS Allow plenty of time to thaw those potatoes; it took much longer than I thought.

A very good GO-TO brownie. They are rich and soft inside, with a nice little crispiness on the top and sides. Nice and sweet. They were so gooey that they were difficult to cut. I baked mine in an 8X8 glass pan at 325 for I think it was about 50 minutes and they were perfect--I think they would be too short/flat in a 9x13. Expect to really like them, but they are not the BEST I have ever made. (But the best brownies I ever made were time consuming and the recipe had many steps. Not something I would make often.) I gave these brownies five stars because they are really good, really easy, people will like them, it's what you expect from a brownie, and I think the results are pretty consistent. These are the ones you whip up when the kids need two pans for school or someone has a sudden brownie craving, or you want a to send a pan over to the neighbors.

It was very flavorful. I used dijon instead of yellow, which may have been why it was a really strong flavor. Very good, very distinctive. A sophisticated flavor for not much work at all.
