Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Lightly grease a shallow casserole dish.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter or margarine over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until tender and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the frozen hash brown potato strips, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Cook until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green pepper, chopped pimiento, and black pepper.
  6. Mix in 1/2 cup of the cheese cracker crumbs into the potato mixture until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese cracker crumbs over the top.
  9. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are heated through and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
