I love the smoky flavor chorizo gives this dish, but I\u2019ve also made it with Italian sausage and substituted an Italian blend cheese for the Mexican cheese. For a vegetarian option, you can use cream of mushroom soup and fresh mushrooms. \u2014Ana Beteta, Aberdeen,

We loved it. Used diced fresh potatoes instead of the frozen has browns.

I used O\u2019Brien style cubed hash browns, which already has the green pepper & onions. I added diced red pepper.. Also softened the cream cheese & whisked it into the soups, as others mentioned that it didn\u2019t seem to melt. Works great! Panko is good, but you could also sub crushed tortillas instead, which I think would be delicious. I also added some cilantro to the potato mixture, and put the rest on top when it came out of the oven!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-12-04","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Russell"},"reviewBody":"The flavor is really tasty but even after 45 minutes, the cream cheese is not melted and the potatoes are still crunchy. This was after the potatoes spent a night out of the freezer before cooking. Needs at least an hour and 15 or crank up the temp.
