Crockpot Funeral Potatoes (Cheesy Potato Casserole)

Recipe by Rose Atwater

These Crockpot Funeral Potatoes are a perfect side dish for most occasions! A classic we all know and love, but in the slow cooker instead! Cheesy, creamy potatoes that end with a crunch. 

  • Total Time0 hours
  • Yield10 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 Ounces Frozen Cubed Hash Browns
  • 1 10.5-Ounce Can Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 1/2 Sticks Salted Butter (3/4 cup, divided)
  • 2 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 2/3 Cup Plain Corn Flakes
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions

  1. Add the potatoes, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and onion powder in the crockpot and mix well.
  2. Melt 1 stick (½ cup) butter and pour it over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir again.
  3. Put the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or until done. Stir halfway through.
  4. While the crockpot is rolling, preheat the oven to 250°F and line a 9×13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Melt the remaining ¼ cups butter and add it to a small mixing bowl with the corn flakes. Stir and lightly crush the mixture until the butter coats the flakes.
  6. Spread on the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes or until golden and crunchy. Once finished, set aside.
  7. Once the potatoes are finished, sprinkle the baked cornflakes over the top and enjoy! 

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 1 week. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • You can cook this on high for only 3 hours, but I tend to not like what it does to the dairy when it’s cooked on high. It doesn’t change the flavor, but I think the texture is a tad gritty.
  • Do not put the lid back on the crockpot once the flakes have been added or the excess water will make them soggy.
  • Add more or less seasonings based on your preferences.
  • If you don’t want to worry about the oven, you don’t have to bake the corn flakes, but I think it’s worth the effort to get that perfect texture on the top.
