Twice Baked Potato Casserole Recipe
Description
This casserole uses peeled russet potatoes boiled until tender, then whipped with cream cheese, butter, sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, bacon bits, salt, and pepper until smooth and fluffy. Two cups of cheddar and half the bacon are mixed into the mash, while the rest are sprinkled on top before baking.
Baking at moderate heat allows the mixture to warm through fully and develop a golden, slightly crisp topping of melted cheese and bacon. The resulting dish is rich and hearty, a comforting accompaniment suitable for meals needing a substantial potato side.
This casserole can be served immediately after baking to enjoy the creamy texture and crispy top. It pairs well with meats like roast beef or chicken.
