Ingredients

1/2 lb bacon, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion (2 medium)
1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1 cup half-and-half
1 package (1 oz) ranch dressing and seasoning mix (milk recipe)

1 bag (26 oz) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Use firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes. They hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like russets.
Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer in the pan so that they cook evenly.
Season the potatoes well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper to flavor the potatoes.
Use high-quality bacon: The bacon is one of the main flavors in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
Don't overcook the bacon: You want the bacon to be crispy but not burnt.
Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will add a lot of flavor to the casserole.
Bake the casserole until it's golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
