This Keto Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole recipe (also known as Funeral Potatoes) is a delicious low-carb side dish that tastes VERY similar to the classic recipe just without the cornflakes or carbs!
KETO CHEESY HASHBROWN CASSEROLE 🎉🎉🎉Yes, this recipe is EPIC. We've been wanting to create a hashbrown casserole recipe for a while as it was both one of our favorites growing up.
The thing that was holding us back was not having a good recipe for the standard cream of chicken soup that get's mixed into this casserole. ENTER, our Keto Cream of Chicken Soup recipe! It's DELICIOUS and easy and oh so perfect in this casserole.
The topping, which is normally crushed cornflakes in the traditional version, has been Ketofied with crushed pork rinds! The crunch is perfect and I promise you won't miss the cornflakes, not even a little bit.
And the potatoes? Well, obviously potatoes aren't Keto friendly so we used our favorite sub, turnips! When testing the recipe we couldn't decide if we like grated or cubed turnips better in this casserole so we ultimately ended up at a mixture of both. Best of both worlds for sure.
Let's chat specifics!

Hashbrown casserole is a covered dish that is typically served at post funeral luncheons, not a great name for a casserole but now you know.

In a covered dish in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. No, the pork rinds don't get mushy, promise! To reheat, you can pop the casserole into a warm oven or even just microwave a portion or two.
