Easy Loaded Baked Potato Casserole

Directions

Ingredients :

10 Yukon Gold potatoes

peeled and halved

6 slices bacon

1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

divided

1 cup evaporated milk

½ cup sour cream

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 cup sliced green onions

divided

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Methods :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot.

Meanwhile, arrange bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and crumble.

Combine 1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, sour cream, salt, and black pepper in the pot with potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until creamy. Spread potato mixture into prepared baking dish.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes; sprinkle with bacon, green onions, and remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Return to oven and continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
