    Frosted flakes?! My family has always made this recipe with corn flakes (sometimes I use special k). I can’t wait to try both croutons and frosted flakes. Yummmm

    my variation:32 oz shredded hashbrowns, one can cream of mushroom soup, 8 oz sour cream…mix the soup and sour cream together, then add the hasbrowns and mix well..top with shredded colby jack cheese, cover with foil and bake until cheese is melted in a 400 degree oven, take foil off top with French’s fried onions and put back in oven for about 5 minute or until the onions just start to brown.

    We call them Funeral Potatoes because my recipe makes enough for a crowd. Here’s my version:
    32 oz defrosted hash browns
    1 samll chopped green pepper
    1 small chopped onion
    1 can EACH cream of potato and cream of celery soup
    12 oz sour cream or plain yogurt
    Mix all together and bake covered for 1 hour

    This is very similiar to my version… just substitute 12oz of french onion dip for the onion & milk, and cut the sour cream back to 12oz, too. The french onion dip makes it faster to mix (no chopping!) and adds an addional flavor that is outstanding! Plus, you can usually pick up 12oz french onion dip free at Publix with a sale & coupon 😉

    Will have to try it that way. We do it with corn flakes instead of croutons for our crunch. And we use cream of chicken instead of cream of mushroom. And I believe we do extra cheese with two 8 oz packages. I’ve added chopped ham (or could do bacon) before to make it a breakfast casserole.

    This is commonly called “Funeral Potatoes” around here and is often served at funerals and holidays, etc. Never have tried it with cream of mushroom (here it’s always cream of chicken); and, I’ve also never tried it with croutons (only have had it with cornflake/butter or potato chip/butter mix). Will try!

    Oh gosh this looks so good! Thanks for sharing. 🙂 I think I’ll “weight watcher-ize” though it by making a few substitutions. Light Olivio for butter (and using Olivio spray on the top instead of drizzling melted Olivio), panko breadcrumbs instead of croutons, 75% reduced fat cheddar, skim milk, light sour cream, and 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup. If I increase the onions a bit, that should add a bit of extra flavor to make up for all the fat the dish will be missing. Fingers crossed!! 🙂

      I leave out the butter all together and use corn flakes on top for crunch or the bottom of a bag of chips (parts and pieces and crumbs). My kids never liked the onion, so that is left out as well. Still yummy!

      Christmas morning brunch seems to be on the rise…we do that now too…we actually started it about 3 Christmas’ ago because we don’t have anyone over on Christmas morning…it is just our small family…so we sleep in, open gifts then eat…anyway…I already do a hashbrown casserol that I pulled together the recipe for from other places…and it is a perfect addition…you can have anything else you want; ham, bacon, eggs, bisuits or toast…all is good together…but, we only do this once or twice a year…really good!

        Do you still drizzle with butter when you use the frosted flakes on the hash brown cassarole sound good.
