  2 pounds frozen hash browns (partially thawed is best!) 2 cans cream of chicken soup 1/2 cup milk 1 pint sour cream 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 tablespoon minced garlic 10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (grated) 1/2 stick butter (melted) 2 cups coarse-crushed corn flakes **** Mix cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic and cheese. Fold in hash browns. Put into greased casserole dish. Mix crushed cornflakes and melted butter, sprinkle on top. Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes. **** To freeze this dish, put into freezer bags or container, without adding the crushed cornflakes. Then, thaw and cook @ regular temp/time, adding the cornflake/butter topping right before baking. You can also make a huge batch of the sauce and keep it frozen in a container until the day you need it, pulling the sauce and hashbrowns from the freezer to thaw, then proceeding with the remaining steps.

6 eggs 3 cups flour a little splash of milk 1 tsp. salt Place 3 cups of flour into a bowl, or right onto your clean counter top. Add the salt. Slightly mix. Add 6 eggs, into a well in the middle of the flour. Using a scraper, or your hands, mix the flour from the bottom of the pile into the top, where the eggs are. Little by little, until you finally have a dough that is rubbery/elastic feeling. If needed, add a little splash of milk to help moisten the dough. Roll onto a freshly floured surface, until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut according to pasta maker. (also can be cut using a pizza cutter or very sharp knife) Drop 3 - 5 noodles at a time into boiling salt water and cook approx. 6 minutes until they're done. Or if you're using these in homemade chicken or turkey noodle soup, like we do often, then go ahead and drop them, 3 - 5 noodles at a time into the low-boiling chicken stock, and simmer for about 6 minutes or until done. *** As an Amazon Associate I earn from qua...

2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup cold butter 5 oz. whole milk (or a 5.33 oz can evaporated milk) 1 egg Preheat oven to 425. In bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; blend well. Using pastry blender or your fingers (I find this works better) work the butter into the flour until mixture is crumbly. Combine milk and egg and stir just until flour  disappears . Knead 5 or 6 times on a floured surface until it forms a ball. Shape into a disc, about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges, leave the wedges touching, as is. Sprinkle top with sugar and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
