I used frozen potatoes because it just makes life easier around here. They don’t have to be frozen in order to cook them, though.

Next, add the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. 

Now, pour the condensed cream of chicken soup into the bowl. 

If you don’t have any cream of chicken soup you can make the homemade version here.

I love sour cream. There are so many dishes that include sour cream, such as this Jiffy Cornbread recipe, and it makes them so much more moist, as well as dips that are easy to make and perfect for parties.

Sprinkle the onion seasoning, salt, and pepper on top and mix it all together. 

Once you have everything mixed together, slide the cheesy potato casserole into the casserole dish and spread it out. Place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. 

Remove the funeral potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the Corn Flakes on top. 

Melt the butter and pour it over the Corn Flakes and return to the oven for 20 more minutes.
