Ingredients:
1- 26 oz. bag of country style has hash browns (the shredded kind)
2 cups shredded Colby cheese
1/4 cup minced onion
1 cup milk
1/2 cup beef stock or canned broth
2 TBSP. butter, melted
dash of garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Mince your onions.
3. Combine the hash browns, cheese and onions in a large bowl.
4. Combine the milk, beef stock, the melted butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper in another bowl. Mix until well blended, then pour the milk mixture over the potato mixture. Mix until its all blended!
5. Put the bowl in the microwave and heat at 2 minute intervals, stirring in between each, for a a total of 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
6. Pour into a 9 x 9 inch baking dish.
7. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the surface of the hash browns is dark brown.
Note:
In the restaurant, the is melted inside an oven safe skillet on the stove top, and then the entire skillet and contents is put in the oven to bake. You can do this at home just as easy. I think your best bet is to use a cast iron skillet, just like they use in the restaurant!
