Hashbrown creation

1 bag of Simply Potatoes, the shredded ones
1 cup fat-free half-n-half
1 ounce light cream cheese, slightly melted
2 tsp garlic powder
2 TBSP salsa
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Pre-heat oven to 350.  Melt the cream cheese for about 20-20 seconds in the microwave.  Add the half-n-half and whisk together.  Add the sour cream, salsa and the garlic powder, whisk again.  Open the potatoes and empty them into a 9x9 pan.  Slowly add in the cream cheese mixture, mixing with a spoon as you combine the mixture evenly with the potatoes.  Add the 1/2 cup of cheese, mixing again until the cheese is mixed in.  Top with a little more shredded cheese.  Bake for 30-45 minutes.

Note:  for a variety of mixtures, add ground beef or even shredded chicken.  I'm thinking I may add baby spinach next time for a little color!
