\u00a0There are certain things we consistently have on hand because we purchase them at Costco. \u00a0(Like pasta, sauces, cream of mushroom soup, parmesan cheese which we freeze so it lasts\u00a0<em>for-ever<\/em>, bread which we freeze one loaf and keep the other in the fridge so it lasts, green beans, coffee, coffee cream, etc.) \u00a0But if you looked in our fridge right now, you would think we are starving ourselves cause it is <i>bare. \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Okay, now for this 3 ingredient casserole. \u00a0The three ingredients you need are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 potatoes (I used Russets)<\/li>\n<li>1 can of cream of mushroom soup<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup-ish Cheese (I used parmesan&#8230; cause that&#8217;s all we had. \u00a0It was good though! \u00a0I&#8217;d like to make this with cheddar after we go to the store finally)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s not necessary, but I did this because to me it&#8217;s faster, even though it probably really isn&#8217;t any faster, just more high maintenance so I&#8217;m doing more and waiting less&#8230; but anyway, I tossed my diced &amp; cubed potatoes in a skillet with some butter and minced garlic for a little while before putting them in the oven. \u00a0If you don&#8217;t want to do this though, simply throw the three ingredients into a casserole dish, put it in the oven preheated to 400 and leave it for 40-45 minutes. \u00a0(Basically until the potatoes are no longer crunchy.)<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s my \u00a0less-easy, more high maintenance way that tricked me into thinking I was speeding up the process by cooking the potatoes before putting them in the oven. \u00a0(Something about waiting for 40 minutes really turned me off on just throwing it in the oven from the start&#8230; Who knows?)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Preheat the oven to 375. \u00a0Peel and chop your potatoes into small cubes. \u00a0Then put them in a skillet with a good gob of butter and some minced garlic. \u00a0(If you don&#8217;t have garlic, that&#8217;s fine. \u00a0You can season the potatoes with whatever you want as well. \u00a0I used salt and pepper.)<a href=\"https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_7245.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-962 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_7245\" src=\"https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_7245-682x1024.jpg\" width=\"409\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_7245-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_7245-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><\/a>Cook your potatoes in the skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes, covered. \u00a0Stir them frequently- they like to stick to the skillet. \u00a0Also, feel free to add more butter if you need. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_7247.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-963 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_7247\" src=\"https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_7247-682x1024.jpg\" width=\"409\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_7247-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/momentsdontcollectdust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_7247-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><\/a>After the 8 minutes are up, keep stirring and cooking them for about another 10-12 minutes. \u00a0I usually let a piece of potato cool as I&#8217;m nearing the end of my timer and eat it. \u00a0If it&#8217;s not crunchy anymore, I&#8217;m good to move on to the next step. \u00a0Put the potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, and parmesan cheese in a casserole dish and stir. \u00a0(I said 1\/2 cup-ish of the cheese, but really I did about a handful, maybe a little more. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t measure.) \u00a0At this point, add any additional seasonings that you like. \u00a0I added Alpine Touch, my go-to seasoning. \u00a0Stir it all up and place in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I used this time to clean up the dishes I used, set the table, and prep the other breakfast items. \u00a0I love breakfast. \u00a0Have I said that before?
