Hash Brown Casserole - zero calories

A really easy one from Andrea. Thank you Andrea! Our suspicion is that the sour cream and cheese magically counteract each other resulting in the zero calories.

a package of frozen hash browns... not hash brownies! 
a can of cream of mushroom soup
a cup of diced ham.. I cheat and add more than this.. your call!
a half cup of chopped onion... cheated here too. love onions!
a cup of sour cream. I try to get the good stuff but Sandy usually catches me.. sigh.
half of a chopped up pepper. red, green, yellow, orange, whatever as long as its sweet
a half cup of melted butter
a cup and a half of shredded cheese
a ridiculous amount of black pepper. Use your own judgement but I put in lots!

• Chuck everything including the cheese into a bowl and mix it up
• Toss is all into a casserole dish.. 9x13 works, I think
• Hurl it into the oven that you pre-heated to 350
• Yank it out 45 minutes later and commence stuffing your face
• Watch out if Andrew is around.. he'll eat half the dish on his own
