Cheesy Bacon Potato Casserole
Ingredients
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 10 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 8 strips bacon, crisp cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary components for your dish.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Apply a non-stick cooking spray liberally to a 9x13-inch baking container to prevent sticking.
4
Submerge the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with salted water; bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
5
Lower the heat to a medium-low setting and allow the potatoes to simmer until they are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
6
Drain the water from the pot and return the potatoes to it.
7
Combine milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl.
8
Mash the potatoes using a masher or a fork until they reach your desired consistency.
9
Introduce 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese, a generous dollop of sour cream, softened cream cheese, 3/4 of the cooked bacon, and 2 tablespoons of chopped chives into the potato mixture.
10
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly across the prepared baking container.
11
Place your dish in the preheated oven and allow it to heat through, approximately 20 minutes.
12
Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese on top of the dish; continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, adding 5 to 10 minutes more.
13
Finish your dish with a garnish of remaining bacon and chopped chives.
