- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 30 oz shredded hash browns

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Cut bacon into small pieces and cook in a large cast iron skillet. Remove bacon from the pan and remove most of the bacon grease.
- Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until brown.
- Add Lipton onion, cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup cheese, and cooked bacon. Stir until combined.
- Pour hasbrowns on top of cooked meat mixture and top with remaining cheese. (Tip: you can toss the hashbrowns in the bacon grease prior to topping the meat mixture for extra flavor).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have a cast iron pan, you can always cook everything in whatever skillet you have and then transfer to a baking dish before topping with hash browns.
