My Mother and family have been making this wonderful dish for many years, mostly around the holidays. This yr. was the first yr. my husband tried it and now begs for it all the time!! Glad you were able to share such a warm and fulfilling recipe!!
My husband just loves these, too!
I’ve tried out a few different breakfast casseroles and this is the best by far. My husband loved the crouton topping. Delicious! We’ll be having it again on Christmas morning!
Aww… thank you! I’m so glad you loved it!
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 😉
That sounds delicious – thanks for sharing!
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.
That sounds delicious… and I love the idea of adding chopped ham or bacon!
I LOVE this casserole… I haven’t had it in forever since I can’t have dairy anymore… Thanks for making a pregnant lady crave food she can’t have! 😉
Aww… sorry about that! 🙂
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!
Your version sounds delicious, too!
I made this last week!!! It was AWESOME!!!! My WHOLE family loved it. I Added Grilled chicken so it became more of an entree than a side and also used ‘o brian potatoes because it’s what I had on hand, but it was delicious!!! I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!
I’m so glad to hear everyone loved it! 🙂
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!
Great tips… I love the idea of a crunchy chip topping, too!
Those are all great ideas!
Frosted flakes across the top make this yummy also ;)..Instead of the croutons
That sounds like such a fun idea… thanks for sharing!
Everyone in the family will love this! Thanks!
You’re very welcome!!
