TWICE BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE



Twice Baked Potato Casserole image

Cheesy and full of bacon, this side dish casserole is amazing. It has all the flavors of a loaded potato, just in casserole form. You can serve this at a cookout alongside steaks and burgers. It would be delicious alongside baked chicken too. If you want a more buttery taste, use Yukon Gold potatoes.

7 medium red potatoes, baked
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 c sour cream

  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: This will ensure that they are cooked through and easy to mash.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheddar, Parmesan, and cream cheese creates a rich and flavorful filling.
  • Add mix-ins for extra flavor: Cooked bacon, diced ham, or sautéed mushrooms are all great additions to twice-baked potato casserole.
  • Don't over-mix the filling: Over-mixing will make the filling dense and gummy. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the top is crispy and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Twice-baked potato casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course.
