Hash Brown Casserole

-2 -- 1 lb. packages shredded hash browns

-1/2 c. butter (melted)

-2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

-1 -- 12 oz. package sausage (cooked)

-1 pint sour cream

-2 T. onion flakes

-1 c. milk

-1 can cream of chicken soup

-1 tsp. salt

-1/4 tsp. pepper

-4 eggs (but my mom and we doubled it)

Melt butter in 9X13 pan. Place shredded potatoes over butter. Sprinkle with cheese and then sausage over top. Mix remaining 7 ingredients and pour over potato cheese mixture. Bake immediately or cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Uncover, Bake at 350 degrees for 45 mins or until set.

(You can also add sliced green onions into mixture that pours over the top).

Lemon Cake With Homemade Icing

Lemon Cake:

-1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist Lemon Cake

Make as directed.

While cooking make icing:

-1/2 cup butter

-2 tablespoons lemon juice

-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

-3 cups confectioners' sugar

Mix all ingredients together with beater until light and fluffy. Add more sugar or lemon juice to adjust consistency and flavor. (I added a lot more lemon juice because I wanted it more lemony and less sugary tasting). Makes enough for 9X13 pan.

Right after cake gets out of oven, poke holes in the top and spread icing on top. Wait a couple of minutes and do it again. This way the icing soaks into the cake. If you want more when cake is cool, you can do so- I didn't.

This makes the lemon stand out, and it is really really good!

Easy Orange Rolls

- 3 packages of Pillsbury flakey biscuits (10 count)

- 1 cup of butter, melted

- 1 1/3 cups of sugar

- 3 oranges, zested

Take a 9 X 13 pan and cover in foil (so that after rolls are cooked you can flip over the 9 X 13 and all the orange topping is on the top). Place rolls in three rows of 10 in the pan, overlapping if needed. Mix together melted butter, sugar and the zest of three oranges. Pour mixture over top of uncooked rolls. Bake according to the package, 10-12 mins at 400 degrees. It might need more time than that. Make sure rolls are a little more than golden brown, so that the bottom isn't soggy.

After cooking, flip pan over on another pan so topping that has fallen to the bottom is now on top.

Enjoy!
