Cheesy Loaded Potato Casserole
Ingredients
  • 10 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and halved
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup sliced green onions, divided
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components for the recipe.
2
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Next, lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil to prevent food from sticking.
3
Subsequently, place potatoes into a large pot and cover them with salted water; bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes. After that, drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot to dry out.
4
Concurrently, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning it occasionally, until it's evenly browned, roughly 10 minutes.
5
Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess moisture. Crumble the bacon into smaller pieces and set it aside for later use.
6
In a separate bowl, combine 1 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, 0.5 cup green onions, sour cream, half of the crumbled bacon, salt, and black pepper.
7
Mix this mixture with a potato masher until it's smooth and creamy.
8
Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish.
9
Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
10
Finally, sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon on top of the baked mixture. Return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
