CHEESY TURNIP HASHBROWN BAKE

This is what we had for supper tonight along with some really great curry meatloaf from Jennifer's recipe in "Low Carbing Among Friends".  This is the second time we've had that meatloaf and it's fast become our favorite.

I needed a side dish, and didn't want to make a lot, but wanted something substantial to go along with this, and had just bought some turnips so my mind started working and I threw this together.  It came out really good.  My boys do not eat turnips, but I didn't give them the alternative of potatoes tonight, but just served it.  When asked what it was I just said, "hashbrowns".  They liked it.  I'm sure they could tell it wasn't potatoes, but they liked it.  It was really good, I'll have to say.
