Sometimes I really appreciate the fact that I tend to be lazy. Honestly, I work hard in the kitchen only so that I can take a few days off! And beyond that, my laziness tends to feed my creativity. Which is what happened today. I really wanted to serve twice-baked potatoes with our meatloaf cup dinner. However, I could not find my motivation for getting involved in that whole process. Hence…
Twice-Baked Potato Casserole
- 2 lbs. potatoes, unpeeled and cubed
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 1 c. sour cream or 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/2 c. Ranch dressing
- 4-5 slices chopped bacon, cooked
- 2 c. cheese
- 2 t. salt
- 1 t. black pepper
- 1 t. garlic powder
!. Boil potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and return to pot. Slightly mash potatoes before adding any other ingredients.
2. Add cream cheese, sour cream (or sour cream and ranch), bacon, 1 c. cheese and the seasonings to the potatoes. Stir until well combined.
3. Transfer the potato mixture to a small casserole dish. Cover with remaining cheese. Refrigerate or bake immediately at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
*If I had had some green onions on hand, I definitely would have added those too!
Getting the taste I was craving with minimal effort is certainly a finer thing! Stop by my friend Amy’s blog to join in Finer Things Friday.

Definitely the way to go! I love twice-baked, but they are time consuming.

I’m making these right now and they are infinitely easier than twice-baked! This is going to show up on my table quite a bit.

I tried these on the night I read the recipe and they were amazing. We saved the leftovers and reheated with breakfast. They were even better. Thanks for the yummy recipe.
