HASH BROWN POTATO BAKE

1 pkg. of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing Mix
1 and 1/4 cup of milk
3 oz. cream cheese
6 cups of hash brown frozen shredded potatoes
1 tablespoon bacon bits (adjust to taste, I don't use a tablespoon)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ( I like to use the variety of shredded cheeses, like the 4 cheeses, fiesta cheese, colby and jack combine etc.

In blender, combine dressing mix, milk and cream cheese.   Pour over potatoes and bacon in a 9 inch baking dish, (I used a cooking spray on my dish to make clean up easier).   Top with cheese.    Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.   Makes 4 servings.   
This is very good and it's easy.

Ever wonder how long to keep leftovers before consuming them?   Use them within 4 days and  this is something that I have used for years "When in doubt, throw out".   Good rule to follow.

Potatoes are a good source of Vitamin C.

You can tell if baking powder or soda is still working if it fizzles when you add a teaspoon to hot water.  (Sure would be nice if they sold baking powder in smaller containers, I don't use it up fast enough.)
