This sounds like a wonderful recipe. Let's see: bacon, hash browns, cheese. Yeah. Sounds good to me.
This is another great recipe from Kraft. I love their kitchen tips as well. With this recipe came the suggestion for crushing 30 RITZ Crackers and mixing them with 2 tablespoons of melted margarine. Then sprinkle the mixture over the casserole before baking. Sounds like a tasty variation!
