This was stinkin amazing! I made it forever ago when it was cold out... and LOVED it!
1-30 oz bag of hash browns-I always buy the Ore-Ida ones
3-14oz cans of chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 tsp pepper
1 8oz package softened cream cheese (not fat free)
grated cheese
bacon bits
diced green onion
1. Add everything to the crockpot except the cream cheese.
2. Cook on low about 6-8 hours (the potatoes get all creamy).
3. A couple hours before you eat, add the cream cheese come back and stir it until it is all melted (it took the full two hours for me).
4. Dish out, top with cheese, bacon, and green onion. AMAZING!

5 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 minced cloves of garlic
1/4 of a lemon
lemon zest
1.5 Tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup of shredded parmesan cheese (you could use grated instead)
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and cover a cookie sheet in tin foil.

3. Toss with olive oil, salt, and minced garlic
4. Cook in oven 15-20 mins until broccoli starts to get brown on the edges and crunchy.
5. Pull out of oven and sprinkle lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, and shredded parmesan cheese on top.
