Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and spray a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.
- Put the potatoes into the prepared casserole dish. Toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the potatoes are soft and begin to brown, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup Cheddar in a bowl until well combined. Dollop over the potatoes, then sprinkle with the remaining cup Cheddar and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are completely cooked through when poked with a knife, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Dollop the sour cream evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with the scallions and bacon pieces.
THE BEST BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE EVER!
This recipe comes from the Kirby House Restaurant in Abilene, Kansas. It is a low maintenance but flavorful potluck dish! In addition to the below ingredients, I add Penzey's Brady Street & Sandwich Sprinkle to each layer. But if you do add Sandwich Sprinkle, remember, there is salt already in it. This is a great 'make-ahead' dish that you can refrigerate or freeze until you are ready to bake. Prep time is approximate. Enjoy!

- Repeat layers.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted (It usually takes 30 minutes for me. Also, you can cover with foil if the cheese starts to brown too quickly).
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions to garnish.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for baking, as they have a fluffy texture and hold their shape well.
- Pierce the potatoes before baking: This helps the steam escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
- Bake the potatoes until they are fork-tender: This usually takes about an hour.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes: This will help create clean, even slices.
- Layer the potatoes, cheese, and bacon in a casserole dish: Be sure to season each layer with salt and pepper.
- Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help prevent the cheese from running out.

Baked potato casserole with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it is also a great dish to take to potlucks and parties.
