What are Funeral Potatoes?

Funeral Potatoes are an easy casserole dish that’s perfect for feeding a crowd!

This budget-friendly dish uses hashbrowns, cheese, sour cream, and soup, mixed together and baked until golden! It’s all topped off with a buttery cornflake topping.

We love funeral potatoes because they taste so crazy good.

They are so easy to make, economical, and can be served for any occasion.

Ingredients and Variations

POTATOES
This recipe uses diced hash brown potatoes from the freezer. Any frozen (or pre-cooked) potatoes will work.

CHEESE
 Sharp cheddar cheese adds a bright, tangy flavor but use what’s in your cheese drawer. Cheese tends to melt best if you shred it yourself from a block.

EXTRAS
 Why not add jalapenos, broccoli, or even add diced ham or bacon bits!

TOPPING
Crushed corn flakes are sprinkled on the top for a crispy, golden brown topping.

  3. Stir in potatoes & pour into casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese, crushed corn flakes, & bake until the top is bubbly & golden brown.

process of layering Funeral Potatoes

  • To use fresh potatoes, dice them 1/2″ or smaller and add them to salted boiling water. Cook about 7 minutes or just until tender. Cool slightly and proceed with the recipe.
  • Shredded hash browns make a great base just like the diced potatoes do, so feel free to sub them out as well!

How to Store and Reheat

  • The best way to store funeral potatoes is to cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat funeral potatoes, simply place a portion or two in the microwave for a few minutes or toast in the oven at 325°F for 15-20 minutes!

Roasted Summer Squash (With a Panko Breading)

Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping. I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too). BREADING  The light breading mixture of Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings like lemon pepper, paprika, and salt is what pulls this recipe altogether! OTHER VEGGIES Why not switch up the recipe and add some of your other favorite veggies. Ensure you use ones that have a similar cook time, we love asparagus spears and bel

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things
