Crock Pot Cowboy Casserole in a bowl

My version of the Cowboy Casserole is a little different than the one you might be familiar with.

This Cowboy Casserole does not have tater tots in it. Instead of using tater tots I used frozen southern style hash browns.

    Hi Arlene this recipe looks great but I don’t have a casserole crockpot. Could I bake it in a casserole dish?

    I don't see where the sour cream comes in. It's not included in the instructions. Do you mix it in with the soup, milk, etc?

    sounds like a delicious recipe you are so right it is a bit different but better in my opinion as it can be made in crock pot. Thanks for sharing at Craft Frenzy Friday we shared this post there https://shopannies.blogspot.com/2017/02/pizza-pinwheels.html
