Funeral Potatoes

I know it sounds like a weird name and in other parts of the country a recipe similar to this might be called, "Cheesy Potato Casserole" or something like that, but here in Utah they are Funeral Potatoes.  The above picture shows part of a standard meal provided as a service to families, after the funeral of a loved one, by the Relief Society.  They are crazy high in fat content but equally high in flavor and comfort value.

Funeral Potatoes
1-32 ounce bag of frozen, shredded hash brown potatoes. (I use just a tad less for more creamy!)
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 stick butter. melted
2 cups sour cream
2 cans cream of chicken soup
8 ounces of shredded medium cheddar cheese
     Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Combine all the ingredients together and bake in a 9x13 pan for 30-40 minutes until bubbly and hot.
