Directions:1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. 2. Spray a 9-inch square casserole dish with cooking oil or rub with softened butter. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and add the frozen shredded hash browns and 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper, tossing to coat the potatoes with egg. Press the hash brown mixture into the bottom of the prepared dish and bake for 15 minutes. 3. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and sauté the onions, carrots, and celery for about 3 minutes until they just begin to soften. Remove from heat and stir in the frozen peas. 4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, vegetables, remaining teaspoon of salt and pepper, and cream of mushroom soup. Pour some water (about ¼ cup) into the empty soup can and swirl to get any remaining soup out, and pour the water into the chicken and vegetable mixture. Mix together well and pour on top of the cooked hash browns. 5. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and place over the top of the casserole. Bake about 35 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the top becomes puffy and brown. |
