We make this cheesy casserole for holiday gatherings, summer weekends, and any time we need a dish that everyone loves. It’s so good that guests always ask for seconds, so I like to bake one and keep an extra in the fridge, just in case! Serve it with ham, turkey, or grilled chicken, and watch it disappear fast. It’s simple, delicious, and truly one of those easy recipes that becomes a family tradition.

This hash brown casserole is also known as funeral potatoes or cheesy potatoes — a classic comfort food that everyone loves. You can mix everything in one large bowl, pour it into a prepared baking dish, and top it with melted butter or crushed corn flakes for that crispy, golden finish.

Family Traditions:

The delicious hash brown casserole has become a loved tradition at all our family get-togethers. We first started serving it during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, and now the kids ask for it for birthdays, graduations, and every summer barbecue. It’s that one dish everyone looks forward to, no matter the season.

If you think a cheesy hash brown bake is just for the winter holidays, think again! You probably already have everything you need in your pantry to make this family-favorite side dish any time of year. This easy dump-and-bake recipe comes together in minutes and is simple enough to get the kids involved. It’s the perfect dish for beginner cooks and busy families alike.

Often when I am making the Easy Slow Cooker Thanksgiving Turkey Breast Recipe, I will make this hands-free, make-ahead dish the night before, so that all I have to do is put it in the oven for the evening meal.  

We dress up our table with our Spode Dishes for every Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday.  Christmas goes by so fast, and I love my Spode Dinnerware. We set our Thanksgiving table with our Spode dinnerware. We received Spode plate sets from my Mother-in-Law when we were first married and did not have the money to buy Thanksgiving dishes, so it became a family tradition to use our best dishes at Thanksgiving.
