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.

Wow! This sounds amazing!
Definitely the way to go! I love twice-baked, but they are time consuming.
Mmmm ~ looks delicious! Thanks so much for sharing!!
This looks and sounds delicious– and I love that this is a version you could easily transport to a potluck too!
That looks so delicious. I am sure my family would love it. Thanks for the recipe.
Sounds yummy and easy! My 2 favorite things.
I am seriously drooling right now. YUMMO.
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.
My MPM is starting to resemble your blog. Hmmm…
This recipe is comin’ out this week. I cannot wait! Looks wonderful!
I was looking for a potato recipe, tonight. I knew if I came to your blog, I could search and find something good. And, what do you know, if even has bacon in it. {Big SMILE}
Thanks for bumping this recipe back up in your side dish list. I’ll definatly have to add this to our holiday dinner!
.) Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
I just made 8 pans of this tonight for the freezer. Thanks for the recipe!
This looks amazing! I will definitely have to give it a try. My stepdad just gave us a bunch of potatoes from his garden, what a perfect recipe to use them 🙂
