Hearty Hash Brown Dinner

"AT Marge Berg's house in Gibbon, Minnesota, this meal-in-one with vegetables and ground beef is frequent fare. 'It's great for potlucks, too,' she adds, French-fried onions sprinkled on after cooking create a crispy topping."

This recipe was amazing! Easy to make and the kids inhaled it. One of the best recipes I have tried. Adds a new meaning to the phrase " comfort food " Thanks Marge !

If I could rate this higher I would. I don't have a crock with a timer. I adapted this to cook in the oven so I could make it one evening after work. I just thawed everything out and browned and drained the beef then assembled in a casserole dish. I did mix the milk, soup and cheese (not quite as much cheese as the recipe called for)in a bowl and microwaved it until the cheese melted. I poured that over the meat & veggie mixture and baked in the oven until it bubbled. Then I topped it with the onions and served with warm sourdough bread. This is delish. And, it was a snap. Thank you for a recipe I plan to use again soon!

I was glad this dish had "everything" - the starch, the dairy, the veggies, and the protein. However, it was just a little too bland for me and my husband's tastes. I might try this recipe again though and just add a few more spices.
