Cheesy Baked Potato Casserole with Bacon
Ingredients
  • 10 pounds red potatoes
  • 2 pounds bacon
  • 8 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 cups processed cheese sauce
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 large onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced chives
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Fill a large container with salted water and add the potatoes; bring to a rolling boil. Lower the heat to a moderate level and let it simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2
Place slices of bacon in a large pan over high heat, frequently turning until they are uniformly browned, around 10 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon from the pan and lay it out on paper towels to drain excess moisture; crumble.
3
Heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). Lightly coat an 8-quart baking dish with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the cooked potatoes and crumbled bacon. In another bowl, whisk together Cheddar cheese, cheese sauce, sour cream, mayonnaise, onions, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined. Mix the cheese mixture into the potatoes; transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes; remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, approximately 10 minutes.
