This baked potato casserole makes an excellent side dish that will go with all different types of meals. It is perfect to prepare for the holidays or as a side dish to go with dinner any night of the week. I like to serve this casserole with breaded pork chops or chicken. This baked potato casserole is easy to make, it consists of first boiling the potatoes, mashing them and then placing the mashed potatoes into a casserole dish with cheddar cheese and turkey bacon. If you would prefer you can use normal bacon as well. Once the casserole has almost finished baking it is topped off with additional bacon, cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions. This casserole dish can be prepared ahead of time by mashing the potatoes, mixing them with the cheese and bacon, and then placing the mashed potato mixture into the casserole dish. The dish can then be covered and placed into the refrigerator until it is ready to be baked. The baking time is going to be more because the dish will be cold, if you are making it ahead the cooking time will be between 40 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees. After the dish has finished baking it would be topped with the left over cheddar cheese, turkey bacon, and green onions and then placed back into the oven and baked again for an additional 3 minutes. If you are looking for a delicious side dish for dinner or to prepare for the Holidays, give this one a try. Enjoy.
Ingredients:

Step 2: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2 ½-3 quart casserole dish. Return potatoes to the saucepan. Add evaporated milk, sour cream, salt and pepper. Beat with a hand held mixer until smooth. Stir in 1 ½ cups of cheddar cheese and half of the bacon. Spoon the potato mixture into prepared casserole dish.
Step 3: Place into the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese, remaining turkey bacon, and green onions. Bake for an additional 3 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

How do you like your potatoes? Fried, baked, mashed, au gratin? Everyone in my family likes them different. Everytime I my husband to the grocery store with a list he comes home with the everything on the list plus at least one bag of chips. He can kill a bag of chips in a sitting. I, on the other hand, can take or leave chips. I don’t HAVE to have them. French fries baby…that’s my downfall. Whether it’s Chick-Fil-A’s waffle fries or McDonald’s thin crispy fries…they find a way in my mouth. The ironic thing is that I’ll never order them because I know how bad they are for you but somehow they disappear from my kid’s Happy meals.
Our friends the Clarks have brought these over for dinner a couple of times and they are always a hit. These are actually a batch that they made. I wish this computer had a scratch ‘n sniff button because these smelled incredible as I was taking the pictures. This is coming from someone who is not a huge fan of baked potatoes! I’ve since made them several times and love them.
The Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
4 large baking potatoes
8 slices bacon
1 cup sour cream
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
8 green onions, sliced, divided
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour. You can just microwave the potatoes instead because it is way faster and they taste just as good. About three minutes per potato, just check for tenderness. So if you are cooking 4 potatoes in the microwave you will need to cook them for at least 12 minutes. Make sure to poke holes in the potatoes with a fork before microwaving so that they don't explode.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh so the potato maintains it's shape; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese, 1/2 the green onions, and milk (start adding 1/2 cup of milk but you may not need to add it all depending on the consistency you want. You don't want them too runny). Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
Bake for another 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
