Hashbrown Casserole

Healthy Fact of the Day

Hashbrown Casserole is a comforting dish that's high in calories and fat. Potatoes provide vitamin C and potassium, while cheese offers calcium and protein. To make it healthier, consider using low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheese to cut calories and saturated fat. You can increase the nutrient content by adding vegetables like bell peppers or spinach. Using whole grain cereal instead of corn flakes for the topping can add more fiber. For a lighter version, try using Greek yogurt in place of some of the sour cream. While delicious, this dish is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Consider serving smaller portions alongside a large salad or steamed vegetables to create a more nutritionally balanced meal.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 (30 oz) package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups sour cream

  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups corn flakes, crushed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

  2. In a large bowl, mix thawed hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup melted butter, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. Spread mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix crushed corn flakes with 1/4 cup melted butter.

  5. Sprinkle the corn flake mixture evenly over the potato mixture.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Steak Diane with Asparagus

Choose sirloin or tenderloin cuts for a leaner profile without sacrificing the dish’s classic character—use half-and-half instead of heavy cream to reduce fat while maintaining the sauce’s luxurious, clingy texture.

Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

Baby potatoes are naturally rich in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, and the boil-then-roast method uses significantly less oil than deep frying while still achieving a genuinely crispy exterior.

The Summer Drink: What You Put in the Glass Matters as Much as What’s on the Plate

Research on beverage consumption and dietary health consistently finds that the single most impactful change available to most people seeking to improve their dietary quality through beverage choices is replacing sweetened commercial beverages — soda, sweetened iced tea, fruit drinks — with unsweetened or minimally sweetened alternatives. The average American consumes approximately one hundred fifty calories per day from sweetened beverages — calories that provide no nutritional benefit and that research associates with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity independent of total calorie intake. The summer drinks described in this article — infused water, cold brew tea, homemade lemonade with controlled sweetness, shrubs, agua frescas — provide the sensory satisfaction and the cooling pleasure of summer drinking with a fraction of the added sugar and none of the artificial ingredients of their commercial alternatives.
