Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheddar

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheddar lowers calories without sacrificing too much flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: plain yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Plain yogurt is lower in calories and adds a similar tang.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham is a cost-effective alternative.

Grab 2 pounds of hash browns and break them up in a bowl, pouring them in and picking up any chunks.

Add 1/2 cup of diced onion to the bowl and mix it in.

Pour in 1/2 cup of melted butter, which can be melted in the microwave or on the stovetop, and mix it in.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt and about 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, mixing it all together.

Add 10.5 ounces of cream of chicken soup and 8 ounces of sour cream to the mixture.

Add 6 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese and mix everything until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 glazed pan and pack it in.

In a separate bowl, crush 1/2 cup of cornflakes and mix with 4 tablespoons of melted butter until coated.

Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the potato mixture in the pan, using a reasonable amount of the mixture.

Place the pan in a preheated oven at 400°F and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
