Meet the Cook: For a seniors potluck at church, I wanted to create a recipe that would incorporate a meat dish and side dish in one. This casserole proved to be a crowd-pleaser, and I was asked by many to share my recipe. -Jo Ann Fritzler, Belen, New Mexico Ingredients:
2 eggs |
3/4 cup crushed saltines (about 20 crackers) |
6 to 8 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons salt, divided |
1-1/2 teaspoons pepper, divided |
1 pound ground beef |
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 package (30 ounces) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, lightly beat eggs. Stir in cracker crumbs, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Crumble beef over mixture; mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls.
2. In a covered skillet over low heat, cook meatballs in a small amount of water until browned; drain. In a bowl, combine the soup, sour cream, cheese, onion and remaining salt and pepper. With paper towels, pat hash browns dry. Stir into the soup mixture.
3. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Arrange meatballs over top, pressing lightly into mixture. Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 15 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and potatoes are tender. Yield: 8 servings.
