SLOW COOKER FUNERAL POTATOES (HASH BROWN CASSEROLE)
The hash brown casserole (aka funeral potatoes) have always been a food day favorite at my work but the topic came up and I discovered that my husband had never had it. I needed my oven for other things so I came up with this slow cooker version. I also chose to use potato chips over the traditional cereal topping but either will work.

BASIC FUNERAL POTATOES
No Mormon funeral or any get-together for that matter is complete without funeral potatoes and a baked ham! This is only a basic recipe. It's good this way, but it's up to you to make it 'gourmet.' You can use potato chips, tortilla chips, or even corn flakes for the topping - I like to use sour cream and onion chips!

SLOW COOKER FUNERAL POTATOES
This delicious dish known as 'funeral potatoes' is easy to make. I topped mine with more cheese and sliced green onions. A great addition to this would be bacon bits, making it taste almost like a fully loaded baked potato.

MOM'S FUNERAL POTATOES
The ultimate cheesy comfort food! Made famous at Utah funerals, there as many versions of this dish as there are cooks baking it. I've tasted a lot of them over the years but my mom's beats them all-never soupy and full of flavor. Some people put crushed crackers or bread crumbs on top. It's not healthy-it's greasy, cheesy heaven. Probably why funeral potatoes are often referred to as "potatoes au gratin on steroids."
