I used Oreida Frozen Hash browns, since I could not find the “cubed” variety. Out of a 30oz bag, we probably used 20-25 ounces of it, since any more seemed to be too many potatoes. It lined the bottom of a 9x12 inch baking dish pretty well. It was a simple dish to prepare, and was ready for the oven before the oven had a chance to pre-heat! I felt that it did not have enough kick to it, so I put a little bit of Pace Hot Picante sauce on my plate for the 2nd helping. I feel that this dish could be made with a jar of your favorite salsa, rather than, or in addition to, the Manwitch sauce if you wanted a spicier take. This is great for a quick meal with no preparation.

I agree this is quite easy to make but the hashbrowns turned out soggy at the bottom. If and when I make it again I am going to cook the homefries to get them a little brown and dry then place in the bottom.
