Cheesy Potato Cassserole

                                                     (aka "Funeral Potatoes"}

This is an easy, tried, and true recipe (thanks to my friend, Dona) that is perfect for a special meal, a treat for your family, or especially for a potluck! The ingredients are reasonable in cost, the prep time is quick and all you have to remember is to give it a bit more time in the oven if your stove is as slow as mine. It got a rave review at our last potluck here at our complex.

Ingredients

1lb package of shredded hashbrowns

1  can of Condensed Cream of Potato Soup

16 oz tub of sour cream

 2 c shredded Cheddar Cheese 

1/4 c green onions

1 tsp salt  (approx.)

1/2 tsp pepper

Optional: 1/2 c of crushed French Onions

Preparation

Butter or spray a 13x9-inch baking pan or casserole dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients together. Pour into the pan and cover with foil. Bake for approximately 45 minutes to one hour. Remove foil and allow to brown for 15 minutes. PLEASE NOTE: Topping with panko, crushed cornflakes, or French Onions before baking adds a bit of a crunch!
