This creamy potato casserole (funeral potatoes) recipe is bursting with great flavors — perfect for breakfast carry-ins, potluck dinners, and more. Use the basic recipe and add your own touches. I love to add diced ham. Many people in my area call these funeral potatoes because they are a dish usually brought to family gatherings after the death of a family member. I am not fond of this name!

Touchdown Pizza
My favorite sports pub serves this, and I've come up with a simple and delicious home version. Many local restaurants sell wing sauce, and most grocery stores carry it near the steak and BBQ sauces. It's rich, so serve in squares as an appetizer. Serve ranch dressing, celery, and carrot sticks on the side. Enjoy!
Ultimate Macaroni and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate American comfort food. In this recipe, tender macaroni is coated in a rich, creamy cheese sauce with a golden crumb topping. Always satisfying and irresistibly indulgent.
Slow-Cooked Cashew Chicken
I make this cashew chicken in my Fagor® Multi-Functional Cooker where it cooks in about 2 hours (mine runs hot), but you could also make it in a traditional slow cooker; just allow a longer cook time.
