Review and Recipes:Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole, Aunt Jean's Sourdough Rolls and Apple Muffins with Crumb Topping



We love having Breakfast-for-supper! Tonight's meal was enjoyed by all. Larry and the kids all raved about the casserole! So, I guess it's a keeper!

I made the casserole early this morning and put it in the fridge. It worked fine! If you are wanting to make this for breakfast, I think you can make it the night before and just pop it in the oven the next morning. I halved both the casserole and muffin recipes, since I didn't want leftovers. I was going to pop few frozen Mary B.'s tea biscuits in the oven. This smaller size helps a bit when you're trying to lose some weight, although one of these tiny little biscuits contains 4.5 grams of fat and almost 90 calories! However, Aunt Jean sent a batch of her sourdough rolls, so we had those instead. She also brought over a big plate of fried okra, probably the last for the year, as most folks' okra has about stopped bearing. Do y'all how hard it was to not eat that okra?! No pain, no gain - or would it be loss in this instance? Oh, well. It looked yummy!!

The apple muffins were very good, too!
We really ended up with an odd conglomeration of food, but it was all good!

Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole

Thursday - Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole, Aunt Jean's Sourdough Rolls and Apple Muffins with Crumb Topping

Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole

1 (32 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes
8 ounces cooked, diced ham (I used a can of Hormel chopped ham, rinsed with warm water to remove some of the fat.)
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of potato soup
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream (I used low-fat.)
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (I used 2%.)
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese (I just sprinkled a bit on top.)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix hash browns, ham, cream of potato soup, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. Spread evenly into prepared dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until bubbly and lightly brown.

    Yum, Connie! Your casserole looks delicious, and as to okra, I am wild for fried okra. It is bliss on a fork. I have a permanent vision of my mother's cook standing over a cast iron skillet, dishing out fried okra onto a brown paper bag to drain! TASTE GOODNESS!

    Happy Foodie Friday...

    XO,

    We call these Schwartie potatoes but don't ask me why. They are often on buffet tables in huge pans. You need a quarterback to stir it all together but boy is it good.

    My children love this dish so much that I've made double batches of it 3x in the last month, twice for brunch and once for a dinner side dish! Excellent recipe!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
