This creamy, cheesy Slow Cooker Funeral Potatoes recipe is a classic comfort food casserole made with frozen hashbrowns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, and topped with a crispy, buttery corn flake crust. Slow cooked to perfection, it’s an easy, hands-off dish perfect for gatherings and potlucks.

Ingredients

Potato Mixture

  • 1 1/2 pounds frozen cubed hashbrowns (about 2 12oz bags)
  • 1 cup thick sour cream (like Daisy brand)
  • 1 10oz can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Topping

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 2 cups crushed Corn Flakes cereal

Instructions

  1. Mix sour cream, soup, and butter: In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Use a silicone spatula to fold the ingredients together until well combined.
  2. Add seasonings: Stir in salt, onion powder, and ground black pepper into the creamy mixture until evenly distributed.
  3. Incorporate cheese: Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese thoroughly to combine with the soup mixture.
  4. Add hashbrowns: Finally, add the frozen cubed hashbrowns to the mixture. Stir carefully until all potatoes are fully coated with the cheesy soup mixture.
  5. Transfer to slow cooker: Pour the entire potato mixture into a greased slow cooker crock. Spread it out evenly and smooth the top for uniform cooking.
  6. Slow cook the casserole: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 5 to 6 hours. Stir halfway through cooking if possible to ensure even heat distribution.
  7. Prepare topping: Once cooking completes, turn off the slow cooker. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup butter for the topping.
  8. Toast corn flakes: Add crushed Corn Flakes to the melted butter and toss to coat. Toast lightly over medium heat until the flakes are browned and crispy but not burnt. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  9. Add topping to casserole: Spread the toasted corn flake topping evenly over the surface of the cooked potato casserole in the slow cooker. Do not cover with lid again, to keep the topping crisp.
  10. Serve and enjoy: Serve the creamy, cheesy funeral potatoes hot as a delicious side or comfort dish. Enjoy your hearty and crispy dinner casserole.

Notes

  • For even cooking, stir the potato mixture halfway through the slow cooking time.
  • Do not cover the casserole after adding the corn flake topping to keep it crispy.
  • You can substitute sharp cheddar with a cheese blend if desired.
  • Use salted butter in both the potato mixture and topping for best flavor.
  • This recipe is ideal for potlucks, holidays, or comfort food meals.
