Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole aka Funeral Potatoes

One of my favorite side dishes to eat during the Holidays is this Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole. You might have heard them being called Funeral Potatoes or something else.  The recipe my family uses calls for a lot of cheese and butter, which can add a lot of extra added fat to this casserole. To lighten this recipe up a bit and make it more WW friendly, I used Greek Yogurt and 98% FF cream of chicken soup. This cheesy hashbrown casserole makes 15 servings and it is 4 smart points per serving. Please see notes for disclaimer.

One time my brother made this casserole for Easter and he messed the casserole up big time. He added way too much cheese or butter so they were extra greasy cheesy potatoes that probably clogged my arteries for days. There's nothing wrong with a little extra fat on the holidays but if you are looking for a lighter version here it is. 🙂

I've been getting a lot of questions about serving sizes lately. This is a casserole so you will have to cut the recipe into 15 servings as listed in the recipe below. If you cut wrong just adjust the recipe according to for points in the WW recipe builder.  From now on I'm just going to put a Yields number in the recipe below because this can vary greatly depending on how hungry you are or how you end up cutting the casserole in the end.

Ingredients Needed

• Frozen hash brown potatoes - Frozen shredded hash browns are a convenient and versatile ingredient for many recipes. They can be used as a base for breakfast dishes such as hash browns or as a side dish for lunch or dinner.
• Greek yogurt - is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
• Fat-free condensed cream of chicken soup - Condensed cream of chicken soup is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a thick and creamy soup that is made from chicken broth and heavy cream, along with other seasonings and ingredients.
• Black pepper or salt to taste
• Lawry's Seasoning Salt - or your favorite seasoning salt of choice
• Cheddar cheese - I like to use Reduced-Fat Cheese because it has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese, but it may also have a different taste and texture. 
• See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

How to Make
