you know I really do love breakfast time
0:02
at the wagon but when you're feeding
0:03
Cowboys you got to have something that's
0:05
hearty something that's going to stick
0:06
with them and what are we talking about
0:09
hash brown casserole mhm but this not
0:12
just a usual thing you might see we're
0:13
going to Jazz it up a little with a
0:15
little cream cheese is Blended in there
0:17
but also quite a bit of bacon spread
0:19
there throughout so stick with me and
0:21

0:33
[Music]
0:38
Southern Home Style hash brown casserole
0:40
got a nice sound to it don't it I can
0:42
remember one time I was cooking for a
0:44
rodeo finals way back in about 2002 near
0:48
Meridian Mississippi and they told me
0:50
you need to go over at that little old
0:52
place and eat they got the best
0:53
breakfast in the world I used the cross
0:56
over the next morning that lady said we
0:58
don't have a lot on our menu but we got
1:01
Homestyle Southern hash brown casserole
1:04
be the best thing you ever eat and I'll
1:05
bring you two fried eggs to go with it
1:07
and some more bacon I said yes ma'am
1:08
Bring It On folks I went over there 4
1:11
days in a row and ordered Southern hash
1:14
brown casserole every morning for
1:16
breakfast I did it was so good so we
1:17
going to recreate it today first we're
1:19
going to start out with cream of chicken
1:21
soup that's one thing I've always
1:23
admired about our viewers and our
1:25
recipes is we try to keep this simple to
1:27
where you can find the ingredients that
1:28
you're going to need so we're going to
1:30
put her in there make sure it all comes
1:32
out and we did get it all now every
1:37
recipe I ever seen in my life called for
1:39
sour cream now how much would you think
1:42
that is you in the fourth row by the
1:44
pine tree holding two pine cones yep
1:47
that is exactly 7/8 of a cup we're going
1:50
to add one more to go with it that we're
1:52
right on the money we are so I got me a
1:54
block of cream cheese got the mixer out
1:57
in the house and tried to whip it but
1:58
it's cooled off it's about 40° in here
2:01
so we going to try to get that dumped in
2:02
there as well and you can see it's set
2:05
up pretty good so I'm thinking this
2:08
would be a good time in life to go ahead
2:11
and add the egg or cackleberry hen fruit
2:15
rooster
2:16
bullet a whisk is never going to touch
2:19
that you know it Shen so what are we
2:21
going to do want to break out the power
2:23
tool I mean ain't nothing I love better
2:26
than bringing a power tool to the
2:28
kitchen sometimes you might even need a
2:30
chainsaw right angle cuz I'm right
2:32
minded and we going to see can we blend
2:35
this all
2:39
together I will tell you this if you
2:41
want to buy that whipped cream cheese
2:43
that's already in that little plastic
2:44
tub you probably be money ahead now we
2:47
need to
2:48
add half of this cheese I got about two
2:51
cups here so we're going to call it
2:53
about that much that bacon that we
2:56
chopped
2:57
up that onion that we have right here
3:03
[Music]
3:05
here and we going to give that another
3:08
mixing I might can fold it but I'll try
3:10
to go slowly here so I don't get it all
3:12
outside the
3:14
bowl you know like I said breakfast was
3:18
really one of my more favorite times at
3:20
the wagon sure you're getting up early
3:22
I'm getting up most time to cook
3:23
breakfast on Ranch at 2:30 but it is the
3:27
quiet the dark you know when I first
3:30
load old berth up full of wood and you
3:32
get it in there and you go to hearing
3:33
that cracking and popping of that wood
3:35
and then you begin to feel that heat
3:36
that's reaching out there so I remember
3:38
that morning when I woke up it was
3:39
already
3:41
82° and the warmth from Bera I really
3:43
wasn't needing so I stoked her Plum full
3:46
and I'd pull my chair away from there as
3:48
the coffee began to brew now a dear
3:51
friend of mine and I mean a buddy that's
3:53
been through all of it with me is old
3:54
Chris Morton great Cowboy he always knew
3:58
he was welcome to come into Camp before
4:00
anybody else got there and me and him
4:02
would have about 40 minutes to sit and
4:04
visit and have coffee now we backed away
4:07
from birtha pretty good and we're sort
4:08
of on top of a little old Sandy Hill
4:10
there and the wood pile was out there
4:12
just a little ways from us and we're
4:14
sitting there drinking coffee old Bertha
4:16
is putting out that radiating love that
4:18
we don't need that morning so we back up
4:20
just a little further and we're sitting
4:21
there and you could hear turkey Goblin
4:24
way in the distance and then it just got
4:26
really quiet and calm and I hear this
4:29
sound sound that I've heard so many
4:31
times and I've often wondered where it
4:33
was when I heard it and it was the
4:36
rattle of a
4:38
rattlesnake now it wasn't like that he
4:40
was just rattling real fast but I could
4:41
just hear him shaking I knew he was
4:44
crawling through camp now I figured he'd
4:46
come out of that wood pile but it's dark
4:49
as pitch black I'm telling you we ain't
4:50
even got a lantern lit and I look over
4:53
at Chris and I said did you hear that he
4:55
said yeah he said sound like a
4:57
rattlesnake don't he I said yeah
5:00
he said why don't you get up and get the
5:01
flashlight and see where he's at I said
5:03
why don't you get up and get the
5:05
flashlight and see where he's at we both
5:07
just sit there in them chairs and I told
5:09
him I said maybe if we're quiet and we
5:11
don't move much he'll crawl right on
5:13
through Camp go out the other side when
5:16
I didn't hear him no more I made sort of
5:18
a wide swath around there and got my
5:20
Lantern turned it on and lit it and that
5:22
old sand about that deep and you could
5:24
see that track to where he crawled right
5:26
between my chair and Chris's he left
5:29
right on out of Camp later on that
5:31
evening he come back around to Camp you
5:33
know what happened to him then he was
5:35
ures that night cuz we had us some
5:37
little fried rattlesnake kebabs right
5:39
there we did and they were some fine
5:41
good eating but breakfast always brings
5:43
about special memories and special
5:45
moments whether it was a rattlesnake or
5:47
Camp whether I got to hear them turkeys
5:49
gobble an old cow howling in the
5:51
distance or the jingling of Spurs they
5:53
said we're coming to Camp I love me some
5:55
breakfast at the W
6:00
[Music]
6:18
I am using the Frozen shredded hash
6:21
browns make sure if you're doing it this
6:23
way you let them thaw out to room
6:25
temperature before you ever start now if
6:27
you don't want to use them and you want
6:29
go the good oldfashioned way hey go back
6:32
and look at our hash brown video that we
6:34
done and see how to prepare the hash
6:36
browns that you're going to need but a
6:38
rusted potato is about the only thing
6:39
you're going to use here folks and peel
6:41
them then you got a grater you can just
6:43
grate them things grate them in water
6:45
but the key factor is to these is be
6:48
sure that you rinse these potatoes at
6:50
least three times to get all that starch
6:52
off of them and Pat them dry that's what
6:54
we're after then we can mix them in here
6:56
and you're good to go so let me get her
6:59
open
7:01
[Applause]
7:05
I think the bowl might be full time we
7:06
get through today sh we're going to see
7:09
if we can blend this in without tearing
7:11
too much stuff
7:13
up just keep stirring and mixing till
7:16
you know you got it all so when you're
7:18
getting this
7:19
mixed I need you to went ahead and had
7:23
three tablespoons of butter just melting
7:26
over I got mine sitting over on Old Bera
7:29
and we're going to add them in here
7:31
because you just got to have butter now
7:34
if you're cooking this in the house
7:36
preheat that oven to
7:38
375° fah that's what you're going to
7:40
need to put it on get you a 9x13
7:44
casserole dish and grease it with about
7:47
1 tblspoon of butter so we got it to
7:50
here let me get the
7:54
butter whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa is
7:57
that hot nearly as hot as that it was so
8:00
we're going to pour in there quickly
8:03
about just like so we're going to go
8:05
ahead and use our original seasoning you
8:07
ain't got none of that get you some salt
8:09
and pepper just make sure it's a coarse
8:11
ground black pepper give it a pretty
8:13
generous shaking cuz like I say we're
8:15
going to mix
8:17
it and I get all this mixed up I'll find
8:21
me a 12-in dutch oven we'll Greaser and
8:23
get to going
8:25
[Music]
8:29
aah
8:31
[Music]
9:02
now remember the ground wasn't wet today
9:04
when we started so I didn't have to
9:06
pre-warm it or make sure that things was
9:08
thaw out so put that trivet down there
9:10
set the Dutch oven on there make sure
9:12
it's pretty level get you a layer of
9:15
coals around the outside edge of that
9:17
Dutch oven and then pretty light I would
9:19
say on top now make sure when you're
9:21
cooking this I would say you have a
9:22
medium heat to where you just want it to
9:24
cook through melt that cheese Brown it
9:27
on top and you're good to go
9:37
[Music]
9:47
you know folks I get a lot of questions
9:49
on converting Dutch oven sizes so let me
9:51
help you out an 8 in diameter or a 2q
9:55
dutch oven will feed about 2 to four
9:57
people a 10in dutch oven which which is
9:59
a 4 quart will feed about 4 to 8 a 12in
10:03
dutch oven which is 6q which what is
10:05
what we're using today will feed 8 to 12
10:07
you get on up there to a 14in oven which
10:10
is 8 quarts 12 to 16
10:12
[Music]
10:26
people it is pretty and it reminds me
10:29
the first time I ever had it it does now
10:31
I'm going walk you backwards just a
10:33
little bit you see me dump that heat off
10:35
that Dutch oven lid right before we got
10:37
finished because them coals was not hot
10:39
enough to really get that cheese like I
10:40
wanted it so I put me a little fresh
10:42
heat on there let it go about five more
10:44
minutes and we was good to go now you
10:46
keep an eye on this in the oven and if
10:48
you need to if you're getting a little
10:49
brown on top put your a little fo over
10:51
it so you don't Brown that cheese too
10:52
much because you want it just right but
10:54
remember the key thing too is let it sit
10:57
for about 10 minutes so it'll be able to
10:59
to congeal a little and you can cut it
11:01
out of there and slice it hi Lulu glad
11:03
you showed up I am going to have me a
11:05
