Creamy, cheesy funeral potatoes made with tender hash browns and a buttery, crunchy cornflake topping. This comforting casserole is perfect for holidays, potlucks, and family gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 2 cups cornflakes, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook briefly, then gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Season with salt and black pepper and cook until the sauce has thickened.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  5. Place the thawed hash browns in a large bowl and pour the cheese sauce over them. Stir until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the potato mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Melt the remaining butter and combine it with the crushed cornflakes. Sprinkle the buttery cornflake mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  8. Bake until hot, bubbly, and golden on top, about 40 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Thaw the frozen hash browns before assembling the casserole for more even cooking.
  • The casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated; add the cornflake topping shortly before baking for the best crunch.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat until warmed through.
