Loaded Twice Baked Potato Casserole Recipe

This Loaded Twice Baked Potato Casserole Recipe is one of my favorite side dishes to whip up!! It’s that time of year when life revolves around food and everything food.  With holiday dinners and football tailgating, we spend most of our weekends with friends and family, and I love every minute!

Now it’s no surprise that casseroles are my jam, so making a side dish that is a casserole means it’s total when for me!! With the colder weather upon us, it’s time for the casserole season to begin. One of our favorite side dishes is twice-baked mashed potatoes, so this was the next step. (See my loaded mashed potatoes recipe -> here)

loaded baked potato casserole Ingredients

how to make twice baked potato casserole

Start a pot of boiling water for your potatoes.

Rinse off and peel your potatoes.

Cut up your potatoes into chunks for easier boiling. You can use Russet or Gold Potatoes to make these. The gold potatoes are my personal favorite.

Boil your potatoes until they are ready to be mashed up.

While the potatoes boil, dice up your bacon and cook it to the doneness you prefer.  I like juicy bacon, so that’s how we eat ours, it will also cook a bit in the oven.

Preheat your oven to 350

Strain your potatoes and place them into your mixing bowl 

Dump in about 1/2-3/4 of your bacon and all other ingredients, except cheese and mix

Put about 3 cups of cheese into your mixer and mix

Spray a casserole pan with non-stick spray, I used a 4.8 quart pyrex pan.  

Spread your potatoes into your casserole pan and then top with the remaining cheese and bacon 

Bake for about 30 minutes. 

I mean, look at all that cheese and gooeyness!! Now while you could have this as a dinner, we opted to have it as a side to go with our bbq ribs.  It may not be the prettiest casserole, but it is so good!
