Hash Brown Casserole is a holiday staple on our table. I can’t remember a Thanksgiving or Christmas where this dish wasn’t included. Actually, that’s not 100% true. I can remember when it wasn’t included, because prior to my wife joining our family gatherings, I only knew hash brown casserole as the stuff that you got at Cracker Barrel. Seriously. For whatever reason, the dish that many families rarely celebrate holidays without, had just never made it to the table in our family. Heather made it that first year and it’s been a part of the menu ever since. This cheesy perfection is just about as important to the menu as turkey is to Thanksgiving.
And while we often say dishes like this Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole make the holidays, the truth is that the holidays just wouldn’t be the same if we weren’t surrounded by our family and friends. They’re the most important part of the season.

Love this… very similar to what is called funeral potatoes in Utah where I come from. Make them with the Christmas Ham every year. So so good. I love your recipes.
Thanks so much, Calene!
Great recipe similar to mine. Only difference is 1 cup (8 oz. ) sour cream & 1 cup (8 oz.) of French onion dip, and cornflakes instead of buttery style crackers.
Sounds delish! Thanks for sharing!
I make a very similar recipe, but mine is served at Easter–goes soooo good with ham! At Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s mashed potatoes and gravy.

Buttery style crackers ? What did you use?
Look yummy
I use Ritz crackers.
We call them funeral potatoes and they are served at every funeral dinner and show up at every church gathering as well. So wonderful!
I couldn’t agree more!
Iāve been making a very similar recipe for years. However Iām wondering if there is a way to do this in the crockpot and waiting until half way or 3/4 the way before adding the topping. Thoughts? Crockpot dishes are so much easier for work functions when you donāt have an oven accessible.
I’ve done it in the crockpot, but it’s nearly impossible to keep the topping from getting soggy. It’s still delicious, but lacks that crunch.
Made this for the 1st time for Easter. It was a huge hit, especially with the men. Making again today for a party.
Love hearing that everyone enjoyed it! There’s no higher compliment than hearing you’re making it again!
Wow, this cheese is what I’ve been looking for only I never knew it! haha. Shredded cheese thick enough to almost act like the real stuff. I’m going to have to find it. š
It is SO good!!
