Cheesy Potatoes (AKA Mormon Funeral Potatoes)

This is a Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter favorite. In the Plains States, where I grew up, we called this Cheesy Potatoes. Apparently it's called Funeral Potatoes in Utah. Features all the dairy and a small amount of potatoes.

You will need:

2 lbs. frozen hash browns (thawed)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped onion
8 oz. grated cheddar jack
8 oz. grated velveeta
3/4 cup butter (one and a half sticks)
1/2 t salt
2 cups crushed corn flakes

Spray a 9"x13" pan with nonstick cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix together potatoes, soup, sour cream, onion, cheddar jack, velveeta, one stick of melted butter, and salt.

Spread the filling into the dish evenly. You'll need to pack it down too.

Fill a two cup measure with corn flakes and start crushing. Keep adding and crushing until you have two cups of crushed corn flakes.

Melt the other half stick of butter and stir it in with the corn flakes. Spread this on top of the filling.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Give yourself a heart attack from all the cheesy goodness. Who knows, maybe they'll serve more of these at your funeral!
