Cut bacon and brown it.  Remove cooked bacon and set aside.  Add onions and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions start turning translucent.   Add diced potatoes, carrots, and hash browns and sauté for another 5 minutes.  White vegetables are sautéing, whisk Wantsumeaux White Gravy into 2 cups hot tap water.  Pour into vegetables and add 1 ½ cups milk.  Stir.  Add additional salt and pepper to taste.

Reduce heat to low, cover, simmer until carrots and potatoes are done, approximately 15-20 minutes.  Add ½ cup chicken broth or water to think it out if too thick.  Serve with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
