After enjoying this creamy, snazzed-up potato casserole at a wedding dinner, my daughters and I asked the caterer to share the recipe. Because it can be made ahead, it's a great recipe for busy cooks. —Darlis Wilfer, West Bend, Wisconsin

Shred and Freeze CheeseIt’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

I have been making a variation of this recipe for years as well. Sometimes I substitute cream of chicken soup for the mushroom (depending on the meat) and it is just as excellent. I also top with crushed corn flakes towards the end of baking to give the dish a bit of crunch. I constantly get asked for the recipe.

This is quite similar to a dish I have made for years. I like it, but some of my family members object to canned soup. I get around that by making my own mushroom sauce by sautéing fresh mushrooms and making a rue thinned with milk and bit of white wine and an addition of onion powder. The canned French fried onions also make a tasty addition and topping. I have sneaked in a bit of canned soup in the rue, so far they didn't detect the cheating. I first found the basis for this in pork chop dish recipe, we didn't like baking the pork chops on top, too greasy. I agree shredded hash browns are the best choice.

This is the best potato casserole ever!! I stirred this up today and put the plastic lid to my 9X13 glass dish on it and stuck in fridge. Tomorrow (Christmas Day) I will put this in the oven along side my ham. So easy!! I use frozen potatoes that have the onions and green pepper in it and still add the five green onions. Also I love to serve this with this lady's Beef Brisket with Mop Sauce and her Tossed Salad with Carrot Dressing. Yum!!

we love cheesy potato casserole but have found we like the shredded hash browns much better than the cubed

I also made this in a 13x9" baking dish and baked for 5-10 minutes longer than called for. Came out perfect! Yummy cheesey potatoes.

I started making this when my husband was in the Marine Corps 3 years ago. Everyone loved it and it fed alot of Marines! My family came to visit and I made it for them. Now anytime I am cooking everyone asks that I make this. Its so easy to make and a big hit!

Sooo good...and really easy to make. I added 2tsp of dried green onions because I couldn't get fresh ones. Be sure to cook thoroughly (the center takes a lot longer to cook) even if the surface is browned.
