#1,639: Twice-Baked Potato Casserole



I know this isn't the best picture of this recipe, but I made this to take to a church pot luck so I couldn't pull out a scoop of it first to get a better/closer picture.  Sorry folks, this is the best I could get.  However, this recipe has been unnecessarily sitting on a pinterst board for THREE years.  I have no idea why I waited so long to make this.  It was a hit at the potluck, and my family really enjoyed it as well.  I was lazy, so I used real bacon pieces (not bits) in this recipe, but obviously real bacon would have been better.  I also cut way back on the sour cream, and still thought it turned out great!

1-1/2 pounds red potatoes (about 6 medium), baked (I used 3 lb of baby gold potatoes)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled (I used 1 container of real bacon pieces)
3 cups (24 ounces) sour cream (I used 16 oz)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese (I used about 4 oz)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese (I used about 4 oz)
2 green onions, sliced

Preheat oven to 350°. Cut baked potatoes into 1-in. cubes.

I’m way too lazy to layer this recipe in the next step, so I dumped it all into a bowl and mixed to combine.  Then I topped with a little more bacon (that I had reserved) and some extra cheese.  Way easier!

Place half in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper and bacon. Top with half of the sour cream and cheeses. Repeat layers.

Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes or until cheeses are melted. Sprinkle with onions. Yield: 6-8 servings.
