Love this casserole!

I didn't think I would like it -- sounds kind of weird -- potato chips, cheese, and hash browns? Well I am here to tell you that its actually very good. Will definitely please the cheese lovers. However, keep in mind this meal is not calorie conscious.

variations: variety of veggies can be used and different flavor chips. can also substitute chips with corn flakes or cooked, drained noodles. experiment with spices and seasonings.. get creative!!

This recipe is inspired from the famous one of the 1950's, I substituted the rice and water chestnuts for cauliflower.

quick and easy

I was actually going to make something else that is similar to this , but instead I mixed that recipe with my husband's nacho recipe. The kids loved this so much that they didn't leave any leftovers ! I will have to post the recipe that I combined my husband's nacho recipe with. The kids didn't want any toppings, but they said next time they will. I added black olives to mine .

This is my take on a cheesy broccoli casserole, perfect for a holiday meal side dish. It has no condensed cream soups and no velveeta, so I feel better about making it for my family. I use fresh broccoli florets when I make this, but I'm sure frozen could be used too. Or you could also make this with cauliflower. For the topping, you could substitute crushed up Ritz crackers or just panko breadcrumbs instead of the French onions, if you'd like.
