FUNERAL POTATOES

ADVERTISEMENT

These tasty Funeral Potatoes, also known as cheesy potato casserole, are a frozen hash brown casserole that combines onion, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack Cheese with a crunchy cornflake topping.  This side dish got its peculiar name because it is a very common dish served at after-funeral luncheons. 

They are so easy to fix, virtually foolproof, and easy on the pocketbook, and people love them.  This recipe serves at least ten people, so it is a real crowd-pleaser and perfect for family gatherings at Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

You are going to absolutely love these cheesy potatoes.  They go with any beef, fish, chicken, or pork entree.  In fact, I am having a hard time coming up with something that they really do not go well with.  Leftovers heat up perfectly in the microwave.  I like to serve the leftovers mixed with sausage crumbles and topped with eggs over easy.   It just does not get much better than that!

HOW TO MAKE FUNERAL POTATOES

Start by cooking the chopped onion in a skillet with a little bit of butter for about 5 minutes.  Then grab a large bowl and combine the hash brown potatoes. onion, melted butter, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese.  Next, spread the mixture out in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish.  Now crush some cornflakes and combine those with a little melted butter.  Then sprinkle that over the top and bake for about 45 minutes.  It just does not get much easier than that.
