Sicilian Potato Bake Hash Browns & Mozzarella

24 ounces hashed brown potatoes -- divided

1 small thinly sliced onion -- divided

2 thinly sliced tomatoes -- divided

8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese -- divided

1 1/2 teaspoons beau monde seasoning

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 cup milk, 2% lowfat -- added last

Serves 6 to 12, depending upon menu. Prepare a shallow 6 cup casserole with a little margarine or spray oil. Layering in order listed - - - place first 7 ingredients in casserole; use half the amounts for the first 4 ingredients (those marked 'divided'). Then layer the remaining amounts of the first 4. Pour milk over top. Cover with foil, but loosely, so steam can escape. Bake 425oF for 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 5 more minutes. Remove and let stand a minute or two before cutting.

Beau monde is a seasoning salt whose main component is celery salt. Use lawry's, mrs. dash, etc. Substitute O'Brien potatoes. Good with lowfat buttermilk!
