• 2 lb bag of Frozen Hash browns
• 1 can Cream of Potato Soup
• 1 can Cream of Celery Soup
• 1 can Cheddar Cheese Soup
• 1 small carton (8 oz) of Sour Cream

4. Put in 9x13 greased baking pan, top with buttered bread crumbs.
5. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour, 15 minutes.

Notes :
If you don’t have a package of bread crumbs you can make your own.
To make the bread crumbs, break 3 pieces of bread into small pieces and put into a small bowl. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and poured it over the crumbs. Using a fork, mix it around to make sure that all the bread was coated with the melted butter.

No bread or bread crumbs? Not to worry- crush up some soda crackers and mix them with the melted butter.

These are great to make to take to a potluck where you can enjoy time with family and friends.
