Hash Brown Casserole {aka Funeral Potatoes}

This Hash Brown Casserole is a comforting side dish that everybody loves!

I know, I know .... It's the start of a new year and I should be sharing healthier stuff. I'll apologize now. I really wanted to share this back in December, but things happened and I never got around to getting this up.

This dish is so popular at potlucks! When I lived in the Midwest, it was common to see someone bring Hash Brown Casserole for a grieving family after a funeral. We also saw it pretty frequently at church potlucks. My family loves Hash Brown Casserole for an occasional Sunday dinner. I hope you enjoy this casserole as much as my family does!
