    This recipe was inspired by my Cheesy HashBrown Casserole which is great to try if you want another variation on this dish. Cracker Barrel does an amazing hash brown casserole that also inspired me. You may have also heard this dish referred to as funeral potatoes since it is a dish people will often bring over after a funeral.

    Why this Hash Brown Casserole is awesome

    • Great for Sunday dinner or even holiday meals
    • The star of many potlucks
    • Works great for breakfast, brunch or as a side dish at dinner.

    Ingredients

    • hash brown potatoes - shredded work best for this recipe
    • cream of chicken soup - adds a delightful creaminess and texture
    • sour cream - helps the other ingredients to really meld together
    • shredded cheddar cheese - you can also use a cheddar jack mix
    • onion - chopped. I used white onion
    • salt
    • black pepper
    • butter - make the cornflakes tasty and crunchy
    • crushed corn flakes - gives a hint of sweetness and crunch
    ingredients for hash brown casserole

    To make this cheesy hash brown casserole with corn flakes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine thawed hash brown potatoes, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar, chopped onions and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Put the cornflakes and butter aside for the topping.

    Stir well until all the ingredients and cheesy potatoes are thoroughly combined.

    Spread Hash Brown Casserole mixture in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. I love this Anchor Hocking Bake and Take set. It makes it so easy to bring this casserole to a gathering. If you are making this the day before, you can cover it and put it in the refrigerator at this point, and add the cornflakes and butter in the morning.

    If you are making this recipe for hash brown casserole to use right away, crush 2 cups of cornflakes and sprinkle them over the casserole. Melt ¼ cup of butter in the microwave and evenly pour over corn flake mixture to make buttery corn flakes.

    Cover the hashbrown casserole recipe with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 55 minutes. Serve immediately. If you have any leftovers (you probably won't) it will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days.

      This casserole is a favorite for our church dinners. We make 2 large pans and NEVER have any left over. I guess we should start making 3 large pans! Thank you for sharing.

      I made a very similar recipe to this today, but had a problem with the corn flake crust, so I looked online and found your recipe, and I thought maybe you could help me. The casserole was great, but the cornflake topping was not crunchy/crispy...instead it was kind of tough and chewy. I used 1 1/2 cups of crushed cornflakes and 3 TBS of melted butter, except I meted the butter stove-top, then mixed in the cornflakes. Do you think that might be the problem? Because you say to put the dry cornflakes on the casserole first, then pour the butter over top. Doing it this way would seem to not get all the cornflakes fully wet and immersed into the butter...so is that the key? I cooked on 350 for 50 minutes. Thanks for any advice you can give!

      Oh my gosh, what a nightmare. So sorry to hear the oven gave out. Never tried it in the microwave. If you did, please let me know how it turned out.

      Oven failure. Company coming. I have casserole ready to go. It needs to have cornflake topping added. then baked. Can it be salvaged by doing in microwave?

      Hi Marie, if you scroll past the last photo there is a print button which will just print the recipe and not everything else. It should come out to just one page. Hope this helps. Have a wonderful new year.

      Can I separate into two dishes and freeze one dish (prior to baking) for future use?
