Last weekend we grilled out some skirt steak. I used a new Lawry's 30 minute mariande (Santa Fe Chili Marinade with Lime and Garlic) and wanted a new side dish to go with it. Chicken Legs requested potato casserole, so I came up with this Southwestern Potato Casserole. Potatoes, sour cream, Velveeta and Rotel - what's not to like? The potatoes were so creamy and had a little kick from the Rotel. You can use mild Rotel if you are worried about the heat. The steak marinade was great - I highly recommend it - and the potatoes were absolutely delicious! I divided the uncooked potoatoes into three 8x8 foil pans and froze them for later. We have already used one pan for dinner this week.
Southwestern Potato Casserole
(Printable Recipe)
1 (32oz) bag shredded hash browns
1 can cream of chicken soup
16 oz sour cream
1 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
1 can Rotel, drained
8 oz Velveeta cheese, grated
2 cups crushed tortila chips
1/4 cup butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine sour cream, cream of chicken soup, Rotel tomatoes, and cheese in a large bowl. Fold in the hash browns and pour into a 3-quart casserole that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
**At this point, I divide the potato mixture between three 8x8 foil pans and freeze two of them. I cover the pans with saran wrap and foil and pop them in the freezer. I put a pan in the refrigerator on the morning that I want to serve them so they thaw out a little.**
Top casserole with crushed tortilla chips and drop dollops of butter on top. Bake for 45 minutes.

This sounds great! I have to try it! All of your recipes sound great! I have been getting a whole new lease on dinner with your great additions.
I've been curious a few times...what is Rotel?
Thanks!

Ruth - Rotel is a brand of diced tomatoes and green chiles
omg ... have to make this. Only problem, this is one of those dishes that I won't be able to quit eating. Pinned
Creamy and spicy, I like it. It's like rotel dip in potato casserole.
How do you freeze for later?
