It’s always nice to have some recipes on hand that will serve a crowd. Better yet is having a collection of simple recipes that people ask you to make over and over again. If you’re asked to make a dish for a large group there are 3 things that you should keep in mind to avoid fluster. First, find recipes that are made with ingredients that everyone likes. Next, look for recipes that are appropriate for the occasion. Finally, choose a recipe that is simple to make.
This Fiesta Nacho Potato casserole meets all of the rules for feeding a large group, just in time for Cinco de Mayo! To keep it as simple as possible and avoid grating your knuckles use frozen hash browns.

8 ounces sour cream

Thanks! I will be making something like this tonight, adding shredded chicken to make it a complete meal. My very picky son ate nacho casserole at school and liked it so I’ll try to recreate the success at home.
Good luck, let me know how it turns out!
