  • 2 cups (470g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (250 ml) melted butter

Notes

  • If you can get cream of bacon soup in your local grocery store, it makes a tasty change from the cream of chicken soup.
  • Feel free to use less or more corn flakes in the topping. Some cooks like a thin topping while others are generous with the corn flakes. It’s just down to personal preference.
  • You can use your favorite kind of potato or corn chips for the topping instead of the corn flakes. Part of the fun is coming up with new variations to this funeral potatoes recipe.
