The perfect hearty meal, John Wayne Casserole, a dish the whole family will love! Super hearty and packed with flavor, it is great for a potluck or a weeknight dinner. Howdy, Pilgrim! Ground beef and Cheddar cheese put a cowboy spin on this version of classic biscuits and gravy. If you’re wondering if it’s more for dinner or brunch, the answer is both.
Made both as written and with a small change. I like the cream of mushroom soup better than the chicken. I also omit the topping, just because I never seem to have crushed cornflakes, and it is perfectly fine w/o. Here’s a tip on how to get it to mix better. Make sure hash browns are thawed as per recipe instructions. Pour melted butter/margarine over the potatoes and mix. Then add the cheese and mix. Lastly add the rest of the ingredients. It seems to mix faster and better for me this way. It does need the full hour to cook or your onions will be crunchy. I usually divide this in half between 2 smaller casseroles, eat one for dinner and freeze the other. Thanks for the great recipe!
