Ingredients

Scale

Hash Browns

You will need 30 ounces of frozen hash browns. These form the base of your casserole, providing a hearty texture while absorbing all the flavors from the other ingredients.

Cream of Chicken Soup

Use two cans (10.5 ounces each) of cream of chicken soup. This ingredient adds creaminess and depth to the dish, ensuring every bite is rich and satisfying.

Sour Cream

Incorporate 1 cup of sour cream into the mix. It balances the richness of the cheese and adds a slight tang that elevates the flavor profile of the casserole.

Cheddar Cheese

You’ll require 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. This classic cheese melts beautifully, creating a gooey texture throughout the dish that makes it truly comforting.

Butter

Melt ¼ cup of butter for greasing your baking dish and mixing with the topping. It enhances flavor while ensuring that your casserole won’t stick to the pan.

Corn Flakes

For topping, use 2 cups of crushed corn flakes mixed with ¼ cup of melted butter. This gives your Funeral Potatoes a delightful crunch that contrasts perfectly with the soft interior.
