Easy Twice Baked Potato Casserole Recipe

How to make Easy Twice Baked Potato Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

2 large baking potatoes

½ pound lean bacon

¾ cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese

½ cup sour cream

¼ cup milk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon dried chives

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¾ cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

Poke a few holes into each potato using a toothpick.

Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until fully cooked, about 1 hour. Cool for about 15 minutes.

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and crumble.

Cut a thin slice from one side of each potato; carefully scoop out the flesh and transfer to a bowl. Discard skins.

Mix 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, butter, chives, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder with potatoes.

Spread potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish; top with 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

Bake in the preheated oven until just bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
