Croc Pot Funeral Potatoes

Where did I get this Recipe: Mom, Dave and Aunt Liz (with my own twist as usual)

If you haven't noticed by now, I love using my Croc Pot.  Having easy recipes to use is a must with my busy schedule.  Using my Croc Pot has made cooking easier and more enjoyable.  There are so many fantastic, delicious recipes for the Croc Pot.

Living in Arizona, you are always looking for ways to cool your house down.  Using the oven in the summer is not a smart idea.  Having and using a Croc Pot is key.

This recipe is one of my favorites.  For years I have been cooking it in the oven, until I learned you could just as easily cook it in the Croc Pot.  To be honest, it tastes better in the Croc Pot.  I don't know what it is, but the flavor is better.

A very weird name for a very delicious meal!

Can't have a Croc Pot recipe without the Croc Pot!

Be sure to coat the Croc Pot generously with Pam
You will thank me later when it is time to clean up

Ore-ida is the brand I prefer - seems to cook better than  other brands

Using 2 Cups of Sharp Cheese is key to making this recipe
I use Tillamook brand, and nothing else

You can choose to add 1 Cup of Mild Cheddar Cheese
 I do because I like my potatoes to be extra cheesy!

Sour Cream just makes the world a better place

You can also add Cream of Celery or Cream of Mushroom if you're feeling creative

Season All is my seasoning of choice
you can add whatever seasoning your heart desires

Chopped Green Onions add a lot of flavor to this recipe - this is optional

This recipe will become an instant favorite in your homes.  I know it is not the most healthy, but I can promise you it is one of the most delicious.
