Beefy Hash Brown Casserole- Recipe Box #11

I had HIGH HOPES for this box:

It's a "double decker", extra WIDE, and mom and dad bought it at an auction from a great aunt, or a fourth cousin, twice removed, so I was hoping for lots of "family recipes", and Iowa standards, but, unfortunately, 93% of the recipe cards are cut from magazines and newspapers, and are then glued on recipe cards.

I DID find a fun recipe for Beefy Hash Brown Casserole:

Here's the recipe:

Beefy Hash Brown Casserole

1 pkg. hash browns

4 T. oil

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

1 pkg. brown gravy mix

1 c. water

1 pkg. frozen mixed vegetables

1 tsp. garlic powder or salt

1/2 c. grated cheese

f.f. (french fried?) onions (opt.)

Mix hash browns & oil.  Press to line baking pan.  Bake 15 min. (350 degrees?).

Brown ground beef, add the gravy mix, water, veggies, & seasoning, and cook for a few minutes.  Put into baked tater shell, and top with cheese & onions.

I'm ASSUMING you then put it back into the oven until the cheese melts, and starts to brown, but the recipe ends with the directions above...

Enjoy!!
