Steps:
- 1. This would work well with leftover potatoes as well. Soften your cream cheese in the microwave.
- 2. Then add to the mashed potatoes (works better if the mashed potatoes are hot as well). Stir in the Monterrey Jack and mix well. The potatoes will begin to look very fluffy - even instant ones.

- 4. Set the oven to 350. Cut your sliced cheese into little pieces or shred regular cheddar. Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the casserole.
- 5. Then place the chopped bacon pieces over the top. I sprayed the top of the casserole with spray butter.
- 6. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and the cheese is melted. It will be almost like a souffle - really. Enjoy!!!
