FULLY LOADED TWICE BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Fully Loaded Twice Baked Potato Casserole Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 medium potatoes, scrubbed and dried (russet potatoes recommended)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons Montreal Steak Seasoning* (or coarse salt and pepper)
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (I used 3 cups, total, reserving 1 cup)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
5 to 6 green onions, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bake the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes and pat dry. Drizzle olive oil over each potato and then season with Montreal Steak Seasoning (or salt & pepper). *Montreal Steak Seasoning is very easy to find at most any grocery store. We use it for just about everything and anything and it's ideal to season potato skins. Place the potatoes on either a cast-iron skillet (my preference) or on a baking sheet. Do NOT wrap the potatoes in foil, or you won't get the crispy potatoes skins that we love so much. Poke each potato, a few times, with the tines of a fork. Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour (until knife slides easily in and out). Set the baked potatoes aside to cool enough to handle. Make the casserole: Cut each potato in half, then quarters, then into bite-sized chunks. Don't worry about perfectionism. (Leave the skins on, as they are delicious!) Whisk the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl, then add to the cut-up potatoes. Be sure to reserve some of the cheese, and 1/4 cup of the green onion and about 1/2 cup of the bacon. Add the remaining ingredients and gently fold to combine. Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray and evenly distribute the baked potato mixture. Sprinkle the reserved bacon and cheddar cheese and cover with foil. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Remove the foil and bake for 10 additional minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the casserole is nice and bubbly. Watch your guests go back for seconds!

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Twice Baked Potato Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 russet potatoes
12 strips bacon
1 pound broccoli florets
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup water
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups grated Cheddar cheese
8 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
  • Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
  • When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
  • Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.
