I made this recipe and it has quickly become one of my son's favorites. Now he wants me to add it to the menu for Thanksgiving.

I tried Snyder of Berlin BBQ Chips. What a difference... great taste!

This recipe has always been a Thanksgiving tradition - everyone absolutely loves it! It even tastes great the next day as leftovers.

I always make the day before, with cooked sausage and do not use cereal topping. A regular request year round.

I have used this recipe for years. I have added chopped green, red peppers for color. And chopped jalapeno or red pepper flakes to kick it up. the next time I added chopped ham to make it a complete meal.

I LOVE this dish! I vary it a little. I always double the recipe. Also, I fry 1 pound of bacon, draining the grease on paper towels, then crumbling it up and mixing it in. Instead of using 2 cans of crm soup, I use 1 can crm mushroom, and 1 can crm chicken. I ALWAYS get asked the recipe!!!

Do you use shredded hash browns or the cubed southern style?

I use the shredded hash browns because they don't take as long to cook and I put fried onions on top! It is soooo good and has become a family favorite for Christmas.

Lay's Sour Cream and Onion chips make a great topping in place of corn flakes.

I make this recipe too, but crunch potato chips on top instead of corn flakes. Delicious!!

I add fresh mushrooms and it turns out delicious and this time I'm using a cup of fontina cheese with the cheddar.

This tasted so good. My husbands parents loved them!!

After I introduced this to my daughter-in-law, she loved it so much she added browned ground meat and a can of corn, and served it as a main dish. We've all experimented with different soups, different brands/types of frozen hashbrowns, and different crunchies as toppings. I don't think it can be messed up!

Nice choice.

I agree - you can't really mess this one up. I leave the milk out. I usually double it and add bacon. I also have done it in a slow cooker. I also don't bother with the topping but I'm tempted this tome to try Leslie's idea of cheddar sun chips.... YUMMY

Do you just fix same as for oven when you put it in a crock pot? How long do you cook in crock pot?

Crockpot uses the same mixture directions. Cook on low 4-5 hr.

I make this all the time for parties. It's great with Doritos or Sun Chips on top in place of the corn flakes. I'm using Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips this time.

And if I wanted to use crumbled Tator Tots???...

My husband accidentally picked up frozen tator tots instead of frozen cubed hash browns and I didn't discover it until I went to make it Easter morning. Used them anyway-did not turn out well. Maybe if the recipe is modified correctly, it might have worked but frozen tater tots are made with an oil coating which strangely "fused" with the cheese and hardened at the bottom of the casserole dish.

I used to work in a French fry factory where they made those and trust me those tater tots are deadly for grease! :)

I use sour cream with chives to omit cutting up onion :)
