Hash Brown Casserole

I remember the first dinner we had over at Jalene's house she served this as a side dish.  Now I look forward to this casserole every holiday dinner!


1 32 oz. pkg. frozen southern style hash browns (thawed)
1/2 cup butter
1can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz. carton of sour cream
1/2 onion chopped (can use dry minced onion instead)
12 oz. shredded cheese
2 cups corn flake crumbs

Spread potatoes evenly in a 13 x 9 pan.  In a saucepan melt the butter, then add the soup, sour cream, onion, and cheese.  Mix well.  Pour over the potatoes.  Top with corn flake crumbs.  Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbling in the center.  Serves 12.

Pesto-Alfredo Tortellini

This is my easier then ordering pizza meal!!
Ingredients
1 package cheese tortellini (cooked according to package)
1 small jar pesto sauce
1 jar alfredo sauce

Mix all three ingredients together in large sauce pan or crockpot and heat.  That's it, easier then looking for the number to pizza hut.

Quick tips:
I like to buy this meal in bulk, which is close to the same price as the small portion you buy at a grocery store, 3 meals for the price of one.  Costco carries the tortellini and a big jar of basil pesto.  Between those, I spilt it 3 ways.  One of the portion I will cook up that week, and the other two I freeze.  When I'm ready to cook up the frozen portion, I toss them in the crockpot (still frozen) and add the jar of alfredo.  It cooks up perfectly.
I've also been able to purchase jars of alfredo at costco too (4 jars in a package).
