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 a 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 I knew we had to try out this magical casserole my friend Jenn described. It was no surprise the whole family loved the casserole!! (See my loaded mashed potatoes recipe -> here)
Loaded Twice Baked Potato Casserole Ingredients
- Butter
- Minced Garlic
- Bacon
- Green onion
- Gold Potatoes– You can use Red Potatoes or Russet Potatoes, but I enjoy gold potatoes in dishes like this.
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Cheddar cheese
- Cream cheese
- Milk– I usually use two percent milk, but you can also use heavy whipping cream.
- Sour cream
How To Make Loaded 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!

That looks so perfect for the chilly nights we spend out doing kid activities. I want something warm to come home to and something easy to clean up afterwards.
