Cheddar & Bacon Hash Chocolate-Brown Side Dish

I needed an slow side dish to larn along amongst or together with then fried chicken yesterday together with decided to throw together or together with then "cheater" Au gratin potatoes. I had a pocketbook of fresh hash browns (called Simply Potatoes) together with then I decided to operate those (they are sold, inward our market, adjacent to the eggs). I made a quick white sauce, stirred inward the hash browns, or together with then cheddar, a footling sour cream together with or together with then bacon. What to a greater extent than tin you lot enquire for?? They were real cream & cheesy-delicious.

1 bundle Simply Potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dark pepper
2¼ cups milk
¼ loving cup chopped onions sauteed
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
¼ loving cup sour cream
4 slices bacon fried crisp together with crumbled

This is what the potatoes expect like:

In a small, heavy bottomed sauce pan, melt iii tablespoons butter together with add together iii tablespoons flour together with simmer for nearly a minute; stir inward the sauteed onions together with crumbled bacon. Whisk inward the milk (whisk quickly, at first, together with then you lot don't larn lumps) together with produce until the mixture thickens. When it comes to a boil, withdraw from oestrus together with stir inward the cheese, potatoes together with sour cream. Pour into a greased two quart baking dish together with bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes or until bubbly together with potatoes are tender.

I don't come across why you lot couldn't operate frozen hash browns (as long every bit you lot thaw them first).
