King Papas (Aka Copycat Que Papas)
"My DH loves Pizza Hut's Que Papas, so we had to find a way to make our own. These are patties, rather than a "tater tot" shape, but really good, nonetheless. My DS thought we were saying "king" instead of "que", thus the name."

I used home made hash browns, tamed jalapenos, and Monterey jack cheese. I had to use more flour to soak up excess liquid but I really enjoyed tweaking it. Will either use fresh or more tamed next time

With 5 kids and a hungry husband to feed, I'm always looking for good, budget friendly meals. We generally eat meals that use little meat (I try to use 1 lb or less per dinner, and none the rest of day), so that means lots of casseroles and meats with gravy.
I enjoy baking, so bread recipes and desserts tend to get saved more frequently than others. I'm especially partial to chocolate and lemon (although not together).
