  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

  • 8 small strips of bacon, finely chopped


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.

2. In a large bowl combine butter, condensed cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, black pepper, salt and red pepper flakes. Then add and combine hash browns, 1 1/2 cups  shredded cheddar cheese and green onions.

3. Place in the 9 x 13 inch casserole dish, top with bacon and the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Serve this with your steak dinner. I even like it with eggs and toast for breakfast. Or just stand alone as a snack.
