Hash Brown Cottage Pie and a @Dawns_Disaster Group Giveaway

Remember a few weeks back when Mom was trying to make those Denver omelet cups?  Well, that sparked a few ideas in my head...but on a much larger scale.  THIS is not that.  LOL

This was SUPPOSED to be that, but I didn't realize that S got off work at 3 instead of the usual 4 on Sunday and I didn't get a chance to make that I planned on making.  How more vague can I be? 

The concept was going to be something like those Denver omelet cups, but I need more time to work through the logistics of this concept.

Why, yes!  My idea book *IS* overflowing!  Thank you for asking!  Time to do them all?  Oh...HELL no!  LOL

Small victories.  This week was about small victories...and well finding mass errors that others have made that overstated our funding by about 2mil.  *sigh* 

ANYWAY, the victory I celebrated this week was the close of 8 accounts for my red-headed step-child in Bogota.  Now there are only 4 reports to be done every quarter instead of 12.  This with the close of the OLDEST account for Bogota is a TRUE accomplishment for me.  I have had a little help, but for the most part, this is all mine to celebrate.  I initiated the process that allowed us to do this.  I harassed follow up the parties involved to make sure we did reconciliation to some degree, get final bills processed, and then initiated the close out process. 

This, my fellow tax payers, returned approximately $1.5m back into circulation that State can use elsewhere instead of taking new money from Congress.  Thank you!  Thank you!  Roses?  Oh why you're too kind!  Thank you!  *snort*

This is what makes putting up with all the incompetencies worthwhile.  This is TRULY mine!  *I* have actually made a difference.  My job, or at least part of it, DOES matter in the large scale of the economy, this great nation and the world for that matter.

Okay.  Enough bragging.  On to food.

This might be revisited OR I may just make something else that's similar.  Not sure yet.  I'll keep ya posted! 


Preheat oven to 400. Place margarine in the bottom of a 9 x 12 casserole dish and place in oven. Heat until margarine is melted.  Combine 2 1/2 cups hash browns with egg whites and garlic salt.  Sprinkle 2 1/2 cups of hash browns in the bottom of the casserole dish and bake at 400 for 10 to 15 minutes, or until hash browns begin to brown.


Heat a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until brown. Add 2 teaspoons garlic salt and soup. Cook until the soup is heated and bubbly.


Remove casserole dish from oven.


Spread the meat mixture over the hash browns. Top with canned vegetables and remaining hash browns.


Bake at 400 for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned and bubbly.
