We had this with sliced Honey White Loaves and Chunky Applesauce both from this site and it was a very good "comfort food" dinner--the potatoes are delicious. I subbed mushroom soup for the potato soup onion powder instead of onions (too lazy to chop) half-and-half for the milk only used 1/8 tsp salt added 2 Tablespoons bacon bits and about 1/4 cup parmesan cheese--and I mixed the cheddar cheese in with the entire mixture with none added to the top. I couldn't taste the dill weed so will add more next time. I like this recipe because it doesn't call for a half stick of butter! Very good; I will definitely make this again.
This was pretty good. I agree weith the previous reviewer that you can't taste the dill so either up the amount or leave it out. I would also put 1 1/2 c. cheese into the mixture and leave the last 1/2 c. for the last 20 minutes of baking. It also did not take 1 1/2 hours to bake. One hour is plenty.
OH MY GOSH!!!! This was sooo good. I couldn't stop eating it and my husband is normally very picky about what he likes and he LOVED this recipe. It was so easy and cheap as well which I always look for when I make something new. The only thing I might try next time which my husband recommended is to grilled the onions before I put them in the dish.
I took two batches of this to a church picnic/potluck and when I went back to get seconds it was GONE! I did make a few changes though. I used cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup instead of celery and potato soup, and I also used about 4 cloves of garlic, and a little more cheese. I didn't use the dill weed since I didn't have any, but it wasn't lacking in taste. Delicious.
I am going to start by saying the only reason this recipe recieved 1 star from me was because it was easy to make. It tasted like celery and potato soup straight from the can with 1/8 of a teaspoon of dill-that you can't taste anyway!! If you want a truly awesome potato dish try making the Cheesy Ranch Potato Bake.
I have been using this for 2 years and everyone loves it! I don't eat onion so I add onion powder and I also add cheese at the end of cooking. Also adding real bacon bits is great!!
Better than Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole! Easy to make too.
I made this recipe for my family it was delicious. It received rave reviews. It was also very easy to put together.
Extra creamy w/the 2 cans of cream soup
