BoGZ and I will split a tub of cottage cheese in one sitting, using Cool Ranch Doritos for a spoon.

Re: Recipes
Hey hey hey! Would this work ok with shredded hashbrowns? I have a bag of those in the freezer that haven't been touched since I lived at the last house.chex wrote:Hash Brown Casserole
-2 cans cream of potato soup
-one cup sour cream
-1 tsp garlic salt
-1 bag (2lbs) frozen hash brown cubes
-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (freshly shredded is best, but pre-shredded works just fine)
-half cup parmesan cheese
In a large bowl, mix the soup, garlic salt and sour cream. Add the hash browns and cheddar cheese. Pour into 9x13 greased baking pan and top with parmesan. Bake uncovered at 350 F for one hour.

I completely missed this post somehow. I like to use club crackers as a spoon! I've not tried using Cool Ranch Doritos. I'll have to try that sometime.GreatZot wrote:BoGZ and I will split a tub of cottage cheese in one sitting, using Cool Ranch Doritos for a spoon.

Re: Recipes
The cubes make up the bulk of it. I definitely wouldn't purchase shredded hashbrowns for the recipe, but since you already have them laying around, give it a shot! Experiment with it, and let me know how it comes out.Doll wrote:Hey hey hey! Would this work ok with shredded hashbrowns?

I'm thinking about trying them and maybe adding some ground hamburger to them.

Re: Recipes
Hey, that could be pretty good. I may make it with sausage (shut up) for a breakfast casserole.

Re: Recipes
Sometimes I wish I liked sausage. (Shut up) That sounds really good, but every time I try, I just cannot stand it at all. Would be good maybe to throw in some eggs or at least have them on the side.

Re: Recipes
Chex, you have accomplished the impossible. First of all, I hate cooking. But every time I talk to you, I can't wait to cook something! Second of all, I never, never, never experiment with food by adding new things, adjusting amounts, etc. Now you've got me doing both of those!
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to run to the store as I am out of cheese and need to pick up some of that cream of potato soup. (All I have here is cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, and cream of mushroom & chicken...which I didn't know they made combined.)

Re: Recipes
Cream of mushroom could be good. I wouldn't use cream of chicken, but that's because it tastes like pure salt to me. Cream of broccoli could be good too.
smurf, I sound like a 50s housewife, discussing cream soup casseroles. I feel dirty. I need a vodka cleanse or something now.

Re: Recipes
I suddenly have the urge to pick up items for a tuna & noodle casserole now as well. I should not be going grocery shopping while I'm hungry.

Re: Recipes
I found this recipe and I intent to make it. However, what are pumpkin pie spices? I doubt that they are available here. And what kind of pumpkin could I use best for making the pumpkin puree?
Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Yields 24 Cupcakes with Frosting
Ingredients
Cupcakes:
1/4 Cup Butter, Softened
3/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar, Packed Firmly
2 Large Eggs
3/4 Cup Fat Free Milk
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 (15 Ounce) Can Pumpkin Puree
2 1/3 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
Frosting:
1 (8 Ounce) Package Reduced Fat Cream Cheese (Not Fat Free!)
1/4 Cup Butter, Softened
4 Cups Confectioners Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add in butter, applesauce, sugars, and eggs and beat over medium speed until combined. Add in pumpkin and continuing beating until thoroughly incorporated. In a liquid measuring cup, combine milk and lemon juice and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine remaining dry ingredients. Slowly, over medium speed, add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, alternating with the milk mixture, beating well after each addition. Line cupcakes trays with paper liners and then spray lightly with a non-stick cooking spray. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full and bake for 22 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
To make frosting, combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and beat over medium speed until ingredients begin to combine, slowly increase speed and continue beating until a frosting is formed. Once cupcakes cool completely, frost as desired and enjoy!

That sounds an awful lot like our "speculaas" spices. I'll use those then.chex wrote:Cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.

Re: Recipes
Why use kosher salt? Is it different from ordinary salt?
And did an ingredient fall off? Just above the cheddar cheese it says 'two and a half cup'.

Re: Recipes
I used sea salt.
Above the cheese, it calls for half and half. I used heavy cream though, since I already keep that on hand for butter making.
