Chili Cheese Potato Bake

Ok so I suck again and forgot to take pics and we already ate the whole pan so if you want to check this out go to Lynn's Kitchen Adventures to see what its suppose to look like but I think you'll get the general idea. This was actually very yummy, super easy, and very budget friendly. You could also fix it many ways as well! I just followed the recipe as is and am very happy with the turn out. It was like eating a yummy baked potato.

Ingredients:

• 4-6 cups of leftover chili ( any chili will work here)
• frozen shredded hash browns , I do not really measure this but it is about 3-4 cups
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 

Directions:

1. Spread Chili into a 9×11 or 9×13 pan.
2. Spread hash browns over chili. Then sprinkle cheese over potatoes.
3. Bake uncovered at 375 for 40-50 minutes or until done.
4. Serve and enjoy!

This chili is super easy and is pretty good. I would recommend cooking it longer so that it thickens up otherwise its more like a soup. The hubby loved it and ate most of it.

This was so Yummy...I did make a few adjustments though I added an extra can of beans and an extra green chili because I love them! I served it with cheese and a sweet corn bread and it went over well in my hubbies shop!
