Add the cold milk and reserved tomato juice and stir with a whisk to thoroughly incorporate and keep lumps from forming. Bring sauce to a gentle boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.

  • Begin layering the potato bake with ½ of the thawed hash browns in the bottom of the baking dish. Next sprinkle ½ of the diced red pepper, sliced green onions and half of the diced tomatoes. Pour and spread ½ of the cheese sauce over the vegetables and repeat the layering process. Once you have spread the final layer of cheese sauce, generously sprinkle the crushed corn chip and cheese blend over the top.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until cheese has melted and casserole is bubbly and hot.
