Slow Cooker Funeral Potatoes (Hash Brown Casserole) image

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.

  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as chopped bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more chili powder, cumin, or salt and pepper to taste.

  • Serve with Salsa and Guacamole: These classic Mexican condiments are the perfect accompaniments to this casserole.
