Hash Brown Chili Bake

The guys in my family love stuff like this and they were pretty happy with this creation. I mean, really. What's not to love? Chili, potatoes and cheese??? Yeahhhh buddy. They loved it! I made two smaller pans of this...we ate one and I froze the other for future use but if you've got a larger family, then by all means throw it all in one 9x13 inch pan and chow down! We had ZERO leftovers from our pan....it was THAT good.

Hash Brown Chili Bake



1 pound ground beef
1 small onion ~ diced
3 tablespoons chili mix
1 cup salsa (or tomato sauce)
1/4 cup water
Salt & pepper
1 15-ounce can pinto or chili beans
1 26-ounce bag frozen country style shredded hash browns
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the onion and salt & pepper until meat is done.
