Cheesy Hash Browns

We have always believed in accepting truth regardless of its source, and one of the enormous benefits I have had by my association with Minnesota Lutherans has come in the form of food. When called upon to provide a side dish for a ward dinner, I went straight to the House of Hope cookbook for a recipe. This one has become (with some small alterations) a standard for Easter in my house.

2 Cans Cream of Chicken Soup
4 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
24 Ozs Sour Cream
2 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Melted Margarine
4 Lbs Frozen Hash browns.

Mix all the ingredients together except half the butter and the hash browns first, then add the hash browns in. Pour the remainder of the butter on top after putting it in the crock pot. It's supposed to bake for about an hour in the oven in two 13x9 pans, the nice thing is this can be kept warm for ever in the crock pot, so start it early and let it be. We do it in the crock pot because it goes well with ham, which takes up the whole oven.
