I would. But, that was the giveaway. Why would a recipe using frozen hash browns be anything other than "Easy". lol....

So true! And I didn't realize Tupperware had expanded into selling seasonings... just another way to rook people out of their money, I suppose. I won't buy Tupperware containers because the cost is outrageous. I can find something that works just as well, if not better, for much less at Target or WalMart or even the corner drug store.

Color me old, but I remember when Tupperware was a Big Thing to have. It was expensive, but there was nothing else like it.
It was either Tupperware, or you were saving leftovers in cottage cheese containers.
Now it's still expensive, but I've got to say that I'm so much happier with the cheap stuff. I can take it somewhere and not worry about whether I get it back or not. I can't imagine spending the big bucks on Tupperware now unless they've come up with some new miracle design that nobody else has. Yeah, right.
I've still got Tupperware that I got (mumble mumble) years ago. So I guess I got my money out of it.

Tupperware is ungodly expensive but one must-have piece is their Salad Spinner. It has a lifetime guarantee and is worth every penny of the $30 I paid for it.

My mom gave me one of their "hamburger press" sets once. Stackable little round tupperware containers with a "collar" and a press and a lid for the top container so you could stick all the burgers in the freezer. I wound up using the round containers as pet food bowls :)

Yeah, but what should we replace all the REST of the words with?

Even without the ludicrous product name mentions this is a bad recipe. You want higher heat to get the potatoes crispy rather than oil-soaked. This recipe wants you to cook frozen shredded product for 20-37 minutes. It should really take 12 -15 at the most. And there is no reason for "cutting" the potatoes into fourths to turn them over. If the pan is any good all you have to do is jerk it a few times to loosen the potatoes from the bottom, then flip. Incompetent spam. -aem

How would this work without the Cajun seasoning?

Really you can change any seasons to your liking. It just depends on your individual tastes. If a recipe calls for horseradish, for example, I leave it out as I hate it. I would use garlic and onion granules in hash browns, and maybe a little chili powder if it wasn't for breakfast.

Okay true enough.
