Talk about comfort food! This is a delicious dish that is always a hit!! How can you go wrong with potatoes, bacon and cheese? This casserole is great for an easy dish you can make ahead of time for a really busy day!
Ingredients:

- 4 cloves fresh garlic
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup of sour cream (I use light)
- 1/2 cup of milk or cream (add more or less to taste)
- 4 oz cream cheese , softened (I used light)
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 10 slices bacon , cooked crisp and chopped or 1/2 cup of bacon bits
- salt & pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 green onion sliced
- 2 slices of bacon , cooked & crumbled
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375
- Wash potatoes, peel off about 2/3 of the skin, (leaving some on the potatoes) and chop into large chunks. Slice the cloves of garlic into 3 pieces each. Boil the potatoes and garlic in a large pot of water until potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes).
- Drain potatoes & garlic and mash slightly with a potato masher. Add in remaining ingredients (except toppings) and mash to desired consistency.
- Place into a casserole dish, add toppings and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot.

This is a recipe after my own heart! There is probably not much I love more in the world than loaded potatoes! We usually load up even the simple mashed ones at my house but with just cottage cheese and cheese.
Wonder if this could be baked in a crockpot and then transfer into the crock so it could be kept warm on the warm cycle.
I’m sure that would work perfectly!
oh yum. can’t wait to try this. I hope you will share this recipe at Real food Fridays at My Lamp is full. I will share on Pinterest.

Yum, that’s the perfect comfort food! Will have to try your recipe.

I made this dish for Christmas dinner.
I made this dish for Christmas dinner. there wasn’t a drop left. The only thing different was mine had a cup of sour cream. loved it.

Can this be mixed up the day before and baked the next day?
It sure can! You may need to remove it from the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before baking.
Thinking of making this for Easter…any idea how many this might serve?
This recipe makes 8 side dish servings.
You can add chicken or ham to this dish, Ann
4lbs of potatoes? I just need this recipe to feed two people..how many does this recipe serve?
This will serve 8-10 people.
what size pan did you use
I’ve used either a 9×13 dish or a 3 qt casserole dish for this recipe.
Looks delicious
I couldn’t resist when I came across this on Pinterest. It’s baking in the oven right now and I can hardly wait!
Amazing recipe! Thanks for sharing!
could I make this and freeze before the final cooking process?
I haven’t tried freezing it so I can’t say for sure.
How many does this serve?
This makes 8 side dish servings.
I have russet potatoes. Would those work just as well?
Yes, I think they’d work just fine.
Can I make these ahead of time and bake later?? Or will they dry out?
This casserole is fine to make ahead and reheat.
Can you make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can definitely make this ahead of time. If it’s been refrigerated, you may need to increase baking time to ensure it’s hot in the middle.
This looks delicious. Do you think this could be done a day ahead? Mixing it all up on Friday and then putting it in the oven on Saturday???
Definitely. If the casserole is cold it might require a little bit of extra cooking time.
About how many servings does it make i am fixing for a dinner party of sic
This recipe makes 8 side dish servings
Can you tell me if this can be made ahead of time, refrigerated and baked the next day?
Yes it can be made ahead of time. If it is cold when you’re baking it, the baking time might need to be increased slightly.
Just made these for a potluck, and they turned out AMAZING.
So glad you loved it Kate!
So decadent and deliousEven the pickiest critics (my kids) loved it.
So glad they loved it Ann Marie! It’s a huge hit at our house too! :)
This looks really good.
I wish this recipe was printer friendly :/
The print button is located to the right of the ingredients list. :)
Could this be baked in an oven, then put in the crock pot with toppings? Would the cheese melt? I almost have to double this batch and carrying it and serving it in a crock pot would be easier.
That would definitely work with this recipe!
I’ve never met a potato i didn’t like! The above recipes look awesome!
Made it today awesome.
Awesome to hear! :)
Instead of boiling the potatoes, bake them.. Hence twice baked potatoes. It tastes sooooo much better.
First time making recipe. Can I cook in crock pot and eliminate baking in the oven?
We absolutely loved this recipe! It’s a definite repeat! Thank you!
So glad that you loved it! :) Enjoy!
wish there was some way you could give the amount of servings per recipe
Made this for a sports banquet and everyone raved about it. It was delicious!! Thankyou!
I’m so glad everyone loved it!
This casserole is delicious. I’ve made it several times. Always a hit.
Bit of a misnomer. Twice baked potatoes should be baked twice. However as a *-Baked Potato Casserole -*it was good.
Has anyone tried it with something other than redskin potatoes? Do you think the redskin definitely adds to the overall result?
This recipe works beautifully with any kind of potato!
thanks!
