Funeral Potatoes (aka cheesy hash brown casserole) are rich, creamy, and perfect for potlucks or family dinners. Since you mentioned hash browns and cream of chicken soup, here’s the classic version:
🥔 Classic Funeral Potatoes

- 1 (30 oz) bag frozen hash browns (shredded or diced), thawed
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup chopped onion (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Topping
- 2 cups crushed cornflakes
- ¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix hash browns, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheese, melted butter, onion, salt, and pepper.
- Spread mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
- Mix crushed cornflakes with melted butter and sprinkle evenly on top.
- Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until hot and bubbly and golden on top.
🔥 Tips
