A crispy, creamy casserole that replicates classic funeral potatoes without using canned cream of chicken soup. This recipe uses a homemade sauce and pantry-friendly ingredients for a comforting side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 32 oz (900g) frozen shredded hash browns
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat sour cream
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (240ml) low sodium chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 ½ cups (50g) French fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine frozen hash browns, sour cream, shredded cheddar, chicken broth, melted butter, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed and creamy.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
  4. Sprinkle French fried onions evenly over the top.
  5. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use full-fat sour cream for best creaminess. Avoid pre-shredded cheese to prevent grainy texture. Cover casserole loosely during initial baking to prevent topping from burning, then uncover to crisp. For gluten-free, substitute French fried onions with gluten-free crackers or omit. For dairy-free, use dairy-free sour cream, vegan cheese, and coconut milk or broth instead of chicken broth. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat gently on stovetop with broth or milk.
