Shredded has browns make the golden crust for this family favorite shared by Kim Rauhala. The tasty toppings include ground beef, sliced mushrooms and shredded cheese. "Sometimes I add basil or oregano to the seasonings," says the Didsbury, Alberta subscriber.

My husband liked it, my son didn't like it all and I thought it was ok. I used dried hash browns because that is what I had on hand. Might try it again with fresh celery as I didn't have any.

Very good. Added carrots and green pepper. Made half the recipe in an 11x7.

this was an easy dish to make. I used less hasbrowns than it called for in a smaller pan, so the meat was thicker. It made a great twist on an old favorite.
