Beef, Broccoli & Potato Casserole

Ranelle's Note:

A friend shared this with me. I don't like broccoli and she was trying to get me to try it. It took one bite and I was hooked! It is so yummy and easy to make. I usually make ahead and freeze or store in fridge for a day. Add at least 10 more minutes bake time if you do this.

I used broccoli cheddar soup instead of cream of celery and frozen hash browns. The casserole seemed to be just a bit bland to me, but since DH liked it, it gets five stars as he usually hates broccoli. Thank you Ranelle.

This was a very hearty yummy dish. For the crust I used left over baked potatoes that I sliced thinly. I love the combination of the crunchy potatoe crust and cheesey creamy filling. I'm always looking for ways to use leftovers and this has become a favorite. Thanks for posting.

This is wonderful!!!! I used Ore Ida Cottage Fries for the shell and even created a top with them, and then layered the cheese and onion over my top crust. Very easy and quick to make. Good flavor. Sure to please adults and kids alike.
