This casserole is a quick and tasty potato dish that goes with chicken, fish, pork & beef. In our house we love mashed potatoes and I will admit that sometimes, for convenience sake, we use packaged mashed potatoes. However, I kept thinking about how I could still stay true to the convenience and time factors and yet enhance the packaged mashed potato experience. What I ended up with was a cheddar cheese mashed potato casserole topped with bacon and bread crumbs. It was so good that we have made it several times since and have even prepared it with homemade mashed potatoes.Ingredients
2 cups mashed potatoes (I used Idahoan Loaded Bake Potato or homemade)
6 Tablespoons of Half and Half
1/4 cup cheddar cheese (plus extra to sprinkle on top)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1/4 cup crushed bacon pieces
