When All Else Fails, Add More Wine

Perfect for Christmas brunch, or frankly, anytime. Prep time is maybe 5 minutes. Leftovers hold up very well.

• 1 (2 pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• Half pint sour cream
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray one 9×13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. (I use a 10×10 inch and always forget the Pam, no problems.)

In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, onions, soup and cheese. Gently mix and pour into prepared pan or dish. (Stand mixer on low works very well for this since there is a fair amount of volume.)

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Enjoy!!
