1 pouch-type broccoli in cheese sauce

Boil the broccoli with cheese sauce according to the package, in the pouch. While it is boiling, beat the eggs adding the 2 tablespoons of water to the raw eggs. Set aside.

Take an aluminum foil cooking bag sprayed with pam, sprinkle with seasoning salt and put some pats of butter in the foil bag. Open a bag of hash browns, beat eggs, chop onions, pour all ingedients into the bag of hash browns, and mix by squeezing. Then pour the mixture into the foil cooking bag and spread out. Add some salt and pepper, more seasoning salt, and a bit more butter on top of the hash brown mixture.
