#Best #Cheesy #Hashbrown #Potato #Casserole {#Funeral #Potatoes}
This Cheesy Hashbrown Potato Pan (or "funeral potatoes" as we call it in Utah) is full of melted cheese and therefore creamy. It also makes a meal in the freezer easy - divide the recipe in half and freeze half for another day.
One of our favorite side dishes when growing up was the Hashbrown Cheese Potato Pan. In the western United States, they are also called funeral potatoes.
We often had them for Sunday dinner and we could polish a pan in no time. They are so good.
These potatoes also appeared at every Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter dinner. They are a family tradition.
Mom would serve these potatoes with honey ham and slow cooker green beans - the best comfort food ever!
How do you make a Hashbrown cheese potato pan?
This recipe is so easy to prepare with frozen potatoes from the grocery store. You simply add half of the hash browns to the baking dish.
Combine the other ingredients in a bowl and carefully pour half the mixture over the frozen potatoes and garnish with cheese. Then you just repeat the layers again.
Our favorite part is the filling of Ritz butter cookies that you add just before baking. Cook this dish and it's ready to serve.
Some people fill their funeral potatoes with crushed corn flakes mixed with melted butter and it works too! Both ways are delicious.
You can also add vegetables (broccoli is one of my favorite supplements!) Or pieces of bacon to make your own.
