"I adapted this recipe from the back of a package of Mr. Dell's shredded hash brown potatoes. This recipe is always requested for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. The best part is, if there are any leftovers, they make a great breakfast side dish the morning after."

Ready In:: 1hr 10mins
Ingredients:: 8
Serves:: 12

ingredients

10 cups mr. dell's shredded hash browns
¹⁄₄ cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1 (10 ounce) can cream of chicken soup (or cream of anything soup)
12 ounces sour cream
¹⁄₂ cup milk, I always use skim
¹⁄₂ cup chopped green onion
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine and pour into a 9X13 inch baking dish, then add 5 cups of the shredded hash brown potatoes, no need to thaw.
In a separate bowl, mix soup (in a pinch, I've used cream of celery and cream of mushroom and it turned out fine), sour cream, milk, and green onions, then pour 1/2 of this mixture over the hash browns. Spread the mixture around over the hashbrowns evenly using a spatula. Salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle one cup grated cheese on top.
Add the remainder of the hash brown potatoes and pour the remaining soup mixture on top, again, spread out evenly using a spatula. Salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 55 minutes.
**If at the end of the 55 minutes baking time the top hasn't browned to your liking, set the oven to broil and it will quickly brown the top of the cheese to a crispy golden brown.
When done, let set up for 5-10 minutes before cutting into servings.

My family loves this recipe and I started out with this recipe followed to the letter but have tweaked it over the years. Instead of the regular hash browns we use the O'Brien hash browns for more flavor and it eliminates the small step of chopping the onions. Also, since there is no such thing as too much cheese in my house, we use cheddar cheese soup and finally top it off with French Fried onions. It is by no means a healthy dinner but it is a great comfort food for cold rainy nights! Serve with a salad and you should have enough left over for a breakfast side dish the next morning. :)

This potato casserole is fairly simple and quick to put together. It was rich and flavorful. Makes a good side dish.

My Aunt Ruth Ann makes these potatoes for every family get together. So, we always called them Aunt Ruthie's potatoes. My DH loves them and they are super easy for a make-ahead dish. They are a real family hit. Thanks for posting this.

I know these as "Mormon funeral potatoes". As we don't have these hash browns in Australia I bake and peel cooled potatoes. I also leave out the butter and onions, I feel they are good enough without them . A fabulous accompanyment to any meal.

I live in northern Minnesota with my husband. We have a dog, Buddy, who is a shepherd-collie mix. We also have a cat, Tigger, who is a brown Tabby. We both like to cook, but I'm the one that gets our meals on the table on a daily basis. My husband enjoys his role as reviewer/critic. I know a recipe is worthy of a 5-star review when my husband gives me a "top shelf, baby" after finishing his meal. If I don't hear that phrase, it just isn't a 5-star recipe. So far, I've always agreed with his reviews. If I ever think he's wrong, I'll have to rethink our system!I've never been a really good cook, but I've always been great at following directions. Thanks to recipezaar, I just have to find the great recipes and they make me look good! It really doesn't get any better than that!
