Sounds weird but if you use frosted flakes instead of the plain flakes it tastes alot better. Also if you are a vegetarian it works without the cream of chicken. I just use extra butter in place.

Trust me…..don’t use frosted flakes…only use cornflakes but do use cream of chicken soup and not chicken broth as the recipe states above… My family as been eating this recipe for over 30 years and it is our favorite!!!!!

I’ve had it with the frosted flakes and it was amazing. and I like the chunky hashbrowns that have the red and green peppers in it. I thought it would be bad with the frosted flakes but a friend of mine made it and I loved it.

How large is the can of chicken broth?

I have amended the recipe, you can use a 14 to 16 oz can of chicken broth.

This a great recipe and very very good. I have had this recipe twice. The first time I used the 16oz of chicken broth and it was way to runny, but the second time I used half of what the recipe called for and it came out perfect.
I call them heart attack potatoes

If you really want to make this a must have for dinners and family get togethers, get a 16 oz can of French’s Fried Onions and put that on top for the last 10 minutes of booking. Trust me, it’s out of this world

We have taken leftover ham from dinner and cubed it and put it in this, it is really awesome. We have also but bacon in it that makes a good breakfast casserole.

Interesting. I have 2 different versions of this type of casserole. Here in Utah, they call them funeral potatoes cause you can make huge pans to take for funeral suppers. Anyhow, I have never heard of using the chicken broth. One I have calls for just making a simple white sauce and the other is actually sour cream and a can of cheddar cheese soup. I bet the chicken broth would have a good flavor to it.
