I came across this recipe in my quest for "freezable meals." Disclaimer: I have NOT tried it yet, but I intend on making it this week. I will let you know how it goes. I am particularly excited to attempt this recipe because I've had a bag of frozen hash browns in my freezer for...well...too long. And this recipe calls for...you guessed it! Frozen hash browns! I'll post the recipe below, and write up a review once I make it!
(If you get to it before I do, write up a review, and I'll gladly post it!)

Simple Supper Monday
(from busycooks.about.com)
- 10 oz. can condensed reduced fat and sodium cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 1-1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 3-1/2 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1-1/2 cups frozen peppers and onions, thawed
- 1-1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1-1/2 cups crushed potato chips
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine soup, sour cream, milk, chicken and 1-1/4 cups cheese. Spread three-quarters of this mixture in a greased 2-quart baking dish.
Sprinkle hash browns and peppers and onions over the top of the casserole and press down lightly, then top vegetables with remaining soup mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and potato chips.
Bake casserole, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. 8 servings
To freeze, assemble casserole as directed, except do not thaw potatoes, peppers, or onions and do not sprinkle with potato chips. Wrap casserole in freezer wrap or heavy duty foil and freeze. Reserve potato chips in pantry. To thaw and bake, let thaw overnight in refrigerator. Uncover and bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes until bubbly. Then top with crushed potato chips and bake 5-10 minutes longer.
