When I first saw this recipe on my friend KC from Chat ‘n Dish facebook page I was like “Ohhhhhhhhhhhh… that looks awesome!” So naturally I asked her for it as I wanted to make it.  She, being so sweet, gave it to me without batting an eye (Thanks a million KC!).

Now when I first saw her recipe I instantly thought “That’s it???  That’s all that goes into making something that awesome?”

So this past weekend I had made my Triple Bean Turkey Chili for the guys and wanted something with depth to go on the side.  These instantly came to mind!

I dug out her recipe and then made the “oh crap!” face.  I didn’t have ready-to-cook hash browns or garlic herb cream cheese.  So I went the old fashioned way and made it all from scratch.

Well these things were better than I had anticipated. I did have to tweak the recipe a bit (I had to make my own garlic herb cream cheese and I added chives and bacon to it) but the base recipe is hers.

These are definitely a staple now when I make chili and I can so see these on the buffet table for the next Steelers game!
