Ingredients

Mashed Potato Mixture

  • 4 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled, divided
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Mix Potato Base: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with sour cream, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a creamy and seasoned mash base.
  3. Add Cheese and Bacon: Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon evenly into the potato mixture for a rich, smoky flavor inside the casserole.
  4. Assemble Casserole: Spread the potato mixture evenly into a baking dish. This will be the base layer of your casserole.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon evenly on top of the potato mixture for a golden, melty, and crispy topping after baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the casserole is heated through and the cheese topping is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with the sliced green onions. Serve warm as a hearty and flavorful side dish.
