When Laura invited me to cook dinner tonight I decided that I was in the mood to make something new. I also knew that I wanted something based on our hash browns. I did a Google search for potato recipes and found myself on this page. (I include the link not because it is the recipe I used, but because it contained links to a number of other recipes I would be interested in exploring later.) Here’s the recipe I created:

• 6 potatoes, cooked and grated or riced
• 1 can chili
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheese

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, chili, sour ream, and cheese; spoon into a greased 9 X 13 pan. Sprinkle a light layer of cheese over the mixture and bake at 425° for 20 minutes, or until casserole is nicely browned.

Scratching up dinner tonight brought the creation of a new recipe that was well received by everyone in the family (and we have a few picky eaters). I am calling it pork roast on rice (big surprise, I’m sure). Here’s the recipe:

• 3 cups cooked rice
• 1 ½ cups cooked pork roast – diced
• 1 ½ cups cottage cheese
• ¾ cup shredded cheese

Layer the bottom of a 9 X 13 pan with the rice. Mix the cottage cheese and the diced pork roast together and spread over top of the rice. sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and bake at 425 for 10 minutes then broil on high for 5 minutes.
