There is something special about the combination of crispy bacon, sharp cheddar, and fluffy potatoes. This casserole is a family favorite because it tastes just like a classic twice baked potato but is much easier to serve to a hungry crowd.

I love making this for weekend dinners or holiday gatherings. A quick tip is to make sure your potatoes are well drained after boiling, as this helps the casserole stay creamy without becoming watery.

Ingredients

5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook until they are tender, which usually takes about 15 minutes.
3
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash them until they are mostly smooth but still have a bit of texture.
4
Add the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Stir everything together until well combined.
5
Gently fold in half of the cheddar cheese, half of the bacon, and half of the green onions.
6
Spread the potato mixture into your prepared baking dish.
7
Top the casserole with the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon.
8
Bake for 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with the remaining green onions before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, you can pop individual servings in the microwave or warm the whole dish in the oven at 350 degrees until heated through.
