Creamy pimento cheese mixes with crispy hash browns and jalapeno for a flavorful baked dish.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 570 grams frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
02 - 30 milliliters melted butter
03 - 480 milliliters jalapeno pimento cheese
04 - 227 grams sour cream
05 - 120 milliliters chicken broth
06 - 4 green onions, chopped
07 - 2.5 milliliters salt
08 - 2.5 milliliters coarse ground black pepper

→ Optional Topping

09 - 60 milliliters grated sharp cheddar cheese

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Lightly coat a 23x33 cm casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, toss the shredded potatoes with melted butter. Incorporate the jalapeno pimento cheese, sour cream, chicken broth, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.
03 - Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Evenly sprinkle the grated sharp cheddar cheese over the top if using.
04 - Bake for 35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and bubbling. Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For milder flavor, substitute jalapeno pimento cheese with regular pimento cheese. Optional bacon or ham can enhance flavor and protein content.
02 - Omitting the cheddar topping reduces fat while still providing a satisfying texture.
