CHEESY HASH BROWN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Thaw the potatoes in the fridge (it's okay if they aren't totally thawed) on the counter for a couple of hours or in the fridge overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400.
• In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, onion powder, cheese, salt and pepper. Taste for proper seasoning and adjust to your preference.
• Add the potatoes and stir to coat.
• Transfer to a greased baking dish. Pour over the melted butter. Bake at 35-40 minutes until the center is hot and bubbly and the top is slightly browned.

RECIPE: FUNERAL POTATOES

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a medium skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Add the frozen potatoes, breaking up any chunks with your hands. Add the bacon, cheese, and chives, and toss with your hands until evenly combined. Arrange into an even layer.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking frequently, until smooth and starting to turn a light golden-brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, whisking occasionally, until starting to simmer, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne and continue to cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes more. Pour into the baking dish, making sure to evenly cover the potatoes.
• Place the crackers in a zip-top plastic bag, press out the air, and seal the bag. Crush with a rolling pin or bottom of a small pan into crumbs. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Drizzle into the bag over the cracker crumbs and shake or toss with your hands until evenly combined. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
• Bake until golden-brown and bubbling around the edges, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check after 50 minutes and tent loosely with aluminum foil if browning too quickly on top. Sprinkle with more chives before serving.
