Go figure – everyone is being good and posting healthy meals since it is the beginning of the year, and here I am tempting you with a very unhealthy dish! You may be wondering if the title was a typo. But it's not! This side dish gets it's name because it is a popular dish for luncheons after funerals. But don't worry, you can eat this creamy, cheesy side dish anytime – not just following a funeral, thank goodness.

  • 3 cups coarsely crushed corn flakes

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Recipe Tip

You can use cubed hash browns instead of shredded hash browns. If you do, increase the cooking time for the casserole to 55 to 60 minutes.
