Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
- Pull out all of the ingredients.
- Wash and peel potatoes, then slice or chop.
- Next, boil potatoes in salted water, until they start to become tender; usually not more than 10 minutes. Do not overcook them or they will become mushy! Depending on the size, timing is difficult to predict. When cooked, drain.
- In the meantime, using a large skillet, fry the bacon pieces until crisp over medium heat. Use as much or as little bacon as you want. Drain on paper towel, crumble and set aside.
- Keep a few tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet and add sliced onions. Stir onions, over medium heat, until onions become very tender and start to brown.
- Add garlic, combine with onions and remove from heat.
- Cover the bottom of the pan with potato slices or chunks. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper.
- Scatter onions all over top of potatoes, then the bacon.
- Add cheese. Then repeat the process.
- More potatoes.
- Onions.
- Bacon.
- More cheese.
- Totally cover the top with remaining potatoes. Try to cover up any holes with potato.
- Drizzle with melted butter, remaining bacon and some seasoned salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour chicken broth over top of casserole and cover with cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake until cheese has completely melted and the top is golden brown; about another 15 minutes.
- Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving, if not 10. Serve with sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
