Make this simple, creamy cheesy potato casserole, often called Funeral Potatoes, for an easy and comforting side dish perfect for family dinners or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the thawed potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, melted butter, 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  3. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
  5. If using, mix the crushed cornflakes with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese layer.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly throughout and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can assemble this casserole the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the fridge.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/2 cup of diced onion to the potato mixture.
  • Use any condensed cream soup you prefer, such as cream of mushroom or cream of celery.
