lucky find: rustic three cheese tart recipe

Anyone who knows me knows that I hate eating boring food, so this morning when i woke up at the early time of 9:30 I decided to use my extra time wisely making a three cheese tart. I know it sounds a little funky but trust me, it's freakin delicious! Kraft even said of my delicious tart "The savory goodness of this rustic cheese and potato tart is a terrific treat at breakfast, lunch, or dinner." So there you go, even kraft liked it...probably because it was their recipe but nevertheless.

• 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
• 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 (8 ounce) package KRAFT Shredded Three Cheese with a Touch of PHILADELPHIA, divided
• 1/4 (14.1 ounce) package ready-to-use refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
• 
  
• Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine potatoes, onions, garlic powder and 1 cup cheese.
• Place crust on baking sheet; spread with potato mixture to within 1/2 inch of edge. Fold over edge of pastry to partially cover potato mixture.

Bake 20 to 25 min. or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with chives

except I didn't have ready to use pie crust so I used this:

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup peanut oil or canola oil
• 1/2 cup ice water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 butter or crisco

Directions

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Place dough in the pie pan, and press it out evenly with your fingers. Fill with favorite pie filling and bake.

and I didn't have hash browns so I made them with potato shreds, butter, salt, and pepper

I also didn't have an onion so i used onion powder...

Hey! but it still turned out great and my poor college budget didn't even take a hit!
