Potluck Potatoes or Funeral Potatoes

Very fattening and addicting.

2 lb. Southern style hash browns
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tsp. pepper (can add more to taste)
1 tsp. salt (can add more to taste)
1 can cream of chicken soup, dilute with one can water
1 pint sour cream
10 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Corn flakes crushed to go on top (optional)

Defrost potatoes if frozen. Combine all ingredients except corn flakes together in a large bowl, and then pour into a 9x13 casserole dish.

Top with the crushed corn flakes.

Bake for one hour at 375 degrees.

Cool Veggie Pizza

This is nice for a lunch, an appetizer, or a potluck.

2-3 pkg. crescent rolls
8 oz. cream cheese
1-2 tsp. dill weed
1-2 tsp. garlic powder
cucumber, peeled and diced
bacon (a few pieces), cooked and crumbled
shredded cheddar cheese (optional) or
shredded carrots (optional)

Pat crescents in slightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes or until browned. Cool. Mix cream cheese, dill and garlic. Spread on cooled crescents. Top with remaining ingredients (the carrots and cheddar cheese are mainly just for color; use whichever sounds good, or substitute another ingredient).

You may pat the crescents into a decorative baking dish and cut the edges off for a nice fit, then bake.
