Cheesy Potato Casserole is creamy, rich, and packed with cheese! This is a perfect side dish for any occasion! Easy to make in advance, and even freezer friendly!

I absolutely love my Cheesy Potato Casserole recipe. It seems like everyone has their own variation of this side dish. My version because we use two types of cheese, and crunchy fried onion.

My Cheesy Potato Casserole is creamy and soooo cheesy. The ingredient that puts this casserole over the top is the onion soup mix. It makes the potatoes over the top delicious.

This is a perfect side-dish for a potluck, or a cookout. The recipe is really easy, and budget friendly to make a cravable side dish everyone will be asking for the recipe to add to their arsenal. 

I also love to warm-up the leftovers to have with breakfast. This recipe is also easy to make in advance, and freezes well!

    Well you had me at cheesy potatoes - but I love the idea of using cornflakes on top of this. Such a great idea!

    I love a good casserole recipe. I also like the fact there's cornflakes on top, which makes it even more crunchy. This is a winner for our easy weekend dinners! Thanks for sharing!

    This sounds fantastic!! We do love potatoes and peeling and slicing potatoes for a casserole can be time consuming. I like that you use hash browns -- great idea. And cheese? I'm in love!! The crunch on the top is the icing on the cake.
