These tasty Funeral Potatoes, also known as cheesy potato casserole, are a frozen hash brown casserole that combines onion, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack Cheese with a crunchy cornflake topping. This side dish got its peculiar name because it is a very common dish served at after-funeral luncheons.
