The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Tator Tot Casserole (or Hash brown casserole)

Mommy modified recipe


1 lb. hamburger
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 batches of homemade cream soup recipe with 1 1/2 C. cheddar cheese added
tator tots or homemade hashbrowns

Brown the hamburger in an oven safe skillet (I love my cast iron one).  Add the cheesy cream soup and garlic salt and stir well.  Top with frozen tator tots or homemade hashbrowns.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and potatoes are browned.  Sprinkle with additional cheddar cheese and cook 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.  Very easy and yummy!


Homemade Cream Soup (2 cans)
1/2 C. butter
1/2 C. flour
2 C. water
2/3 C. milk
4 tsp. chicken bouillon
1 1/2 C. cheddar cheese


Melt butter.  Whisk in flour and chicken bouillon until smooth.  Add water and milk.  Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly.  Stir in cheese.  


We have been ordering from Azure Standard and we just ordered 100 lbs. of organic potatoes.  We are making french fries, hash browns, and cubed potatoes for the freezer.  We have about 65 lbs. completed.  :)  I have been making my hash browns the way Laura at Heavenly Homemakers makes them here:http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/make-your-own-frozen-hashbrowns.  I guess I probably need to change this recipe name to hashbrown casserole as I haven't been buying tator tots lately.  I looked at the ingredient list!  :)

Love Always,
Mommy
