If you’ve ever had a twice-baked potato and loved it, you MUST give this Twice Baked Potato Casserole a try.
My mother-in-law made this twice-baked potato casserole for Easter dinner this past year. I found myself eating more potatoes than the wonderful honey-baked ham she made.
Like most of the recipes on this food blog, this recipe is super easy to make. I pride myself on sharing recipes that everyone can make with easy-to-find ingredients.
This is one of the many recipes that I can guarantee everyone will absolutely love.
Tips
- While you can pretty much use any brand of cream cheese, I highly recommend you use Philadelphia brand cream cheese. You will taste the difference.
- Additionally, you can use pre-cooked bacon to save on time. Might not be 100% like the real thing but your guests will probably never notice!
If you love Chicken and potato dishes, you need to try my Loaded Chicken and Potato Casserole recipe. Similar to this recipe but with the added protein of Chicken.
How to Make Bacon
If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I’ve put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon – 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.
Bacon Grease Tip
And don’t throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.
