Potato Cassarole (a.k.a. funeral potatoes)

I had a bunch of people request the recipe for the potato casserole I brought to Mindy's baby shower last week, so I thought I would post it here. It is a combination of a couple of my favorite recipes, so here you go!

Bon Apetite!

Tristen's Funeral Potatoes

Potato Mixture

2 lbs frozen country style hash browns: thawed
¼ cup melted butter
2 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
2 tsp garlic powder (not garlic salt)
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 can cream of chicken soup (other cream soups will work)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
½ cup grated onion
2 cups (16 oz) sour cream

Topping
2 cups crushed corn flakes
¼ cup melted butter

Preheat Oven to 350*

Combine all ingredients in potato mixture and spread evenly in a 9x13 baking dish.

Top with crushed corn flakes and drizzle with melted butter.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 350*

They were pretty dang yummy!
I didn't know that you finished Liar's Club. Remind me to tell you a funny story about it the next time I see you. Also, can borrow the Ranger's Apprentice Book from you?

Aren't these my grandma's Sinful Potatoes? They're the best - I should make some again real soon.
By the way, you're really doing a great job on this blog - Kaiya is so cute. I need to start one for Carter.

Julie- They are 99% her sinful potatoes, I just tweaked it. I changed the style of hashbrown potatoes, and added garlic & cayenne.
