I chopped up some onions, added hamburger which was a pound and a half. Once the meat's brown and the meat's saute, this time I added two small cans of both cream and chicken and cream of mushroom. I added some soy sauce, mostly Dale's. Added some pepper and a bit of seasoning salt. For the casserole dish, I spray my casserole dish for the hashbrowns. I put in hashbrowns in first, then the meat with the cream of mushroom and chicken on top. I cook it for 45 minutes on a 400 degree temperature, covered. Once the hashbrowns are soft and taste right in terms of saltiness, I started to add shredded cheese on top. I let it cook about 10 minutes for it to melt, uncovered. You can broil the cheese if you like, which is optional. And voila!
