I was looking for a good side this weekend to serve with our steaks that we were grilling out on Saturday. We were having my brother’s family over for dinner and I feel like we always do the same sides all the time. So I came across this potato recipe on Pinterest that is far from healthy, but looked super easy and quite tasty. I was able to assemble the entire dish before our guests arrived and store it in the fridge until we were ready to cook it. Prep ahead recipes are my very favorite when I know we are entertaining. It makes it a lot less stressful come dinner time especially when we have kids running wild!

I love any cheesey potato casserole!! I always make things like this for cookouts because my family doesn’t care for them and I probably don’t need to consume a whole pan. haha. Saving this for my next cookout 🙂
These sound and look amazing and would be such a great Thanksgiving side! Why are they called Funeral Potatoes, because of the butter?
Not healthy, but looks so good!!
Anything that has cheese + potatoes sounds amazing to me!
