1/2 lb bacon, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion (2 medium)
1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1 cup half-and-half
1 package (1 oz) ranch dressing and seasoning mix (milk recipe)

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. This means using real bacon bits, not bacon bits made from soy or other fillers. It also means using fresh potatoes and vegetables.

Don't overcook the potatoes. The potatoes should be cooked through, but they should still be slightly firm. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the casserole will be less enjoyable.

Be generous with the cheese. The cheese is what makes this casserole so rich and delicious. Don't be afraid to use a lot of it.

Add some spice. If you like a little bit of heat, you can add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the casserole. This will give it a nice kick.

Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help the cheese to set and the casserole to firm up. It will also make it easier to cut and serve.

Conclusion:

Bacon Ranch Potato Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, and it is also a popular dish to bring to potlucks and parties. With its creamy, cheesy, and bacon-y flavor, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
