Funeral Potatoes

This recipe can be made in several different ways. I have made it twice now and both were pretty easy. One was with a crock pot and hash browns and the other was in the oven with actual potatoes. You could also make them with hash browns in the oven or with the actual potatoes in the crock pot. I guess it just depends on what you feel like doing.

Ingredients
2 cans cream of anything soup (I used potato, but chicken or anything would work)
1 small container of sour cream (I always use fat free. It still tastes great and no extra fat)
1 package of hash browns OR 6 potatoes cut up into chunks and boiled for about half an hour or until they are soft. You don't want them fall apart soft, but you don't want any of the raw cruchiness that they have.
Lots of cheese

In the crock pot, combine all ingredients except about a cup of cheese. Top with the remaining cheese and turn the crock pot on until the soupy mixture bubbles and the cheese is melted.

In the oven, combine all ingredients and pour into a 9x13 glass pan. Top with cheese and put in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the soupy mixture is bubbling and the cheese is melted.

Salt to taste.

Super easy and you can't really go wrong with cheese and potatoes. :)
Also, just for fun, I used peppercorn cheese that we had got from the Cache Valley Cheese Factory in Utah. It was pretty good, but I have mostly had these with cheddar cheese or a mexican blend cheese.
