is that they are even better when you twice bake them into a savory casserole filled with cheese, bacon, and garlic! So, yesterday I was thumbing through one of my old cookbooks and came across a recipe called twice baked mashed potatoes. After reading the ingredients list and method, I was sold!

I found another recipe online at Foodie Tale that incorporated garlic (one of my stinky lovers) and I knew I had to bake up this to-good-to-be-true casserole. My family absolutely loved this mashed potato bake and gobbled it down like a pack of hungry wolves. Speaking of which, my dog kept sniffing around the table hoping and “pawing” that’d we’d give him a taste. He’s such a sweet dog and definitely knows good food when he smells it.

Everyone loves a baked potato. Throw it in a second time, and you’ve got game. Make it into a casserole, and you are officially the recipe hero! Fold the cheese into these warm baked potatoes until you have a creamy melt. This casserole wins every time because it takes all the flavors of a twice baked, with a little more style. This one is a no-brainer for your next potluck!

I don’t know about you but twice baked potatoes have always been my favorite. And cheese, too! I really can’t think of a single dish that wouldn’t be even better after you’ve added a little bit of cheese. If you want to make this casserole leaner, make sure you are using low-fat dairy products. And like any great casserole recipe, this is also very versatile! Just throw in all the leftovers you happen to have in the fridge, to take this up a notch.

Sure, mash potatoes are a staple for almost any dinner, but why not try something new, while still sticking to that beloved potato dish on the table? This recipe takes everything we love about a creamy and crispy twice baked potato, and puts it in a casserole, for everyone to share!

This recipe calls for a lot of dairy, so be careful if you have any lactose intolerant guests. You can also add to the recipe, by sprinkling the top of the casserole with some of the left over bacon bits, some parsley, and chives. This dish calls for a lot of potatoes. It’s a large casserole, and serves up to 16 people, generously. That shouldn’t be a problem, though, even if you’re not trying to feed a large crowd. It is so delicious you’re going to want to have plenty of leftovers!

Light this is not, but this Cheesy Twice-Baked Potato Casserole is delicious! If you are a cheese lover, this recipe has a good sampling of all of the favorites. There’s nothing fancy about this recipe. In fact, it’s rather simple to put together, even if you do (of course) have to allow time for the potatoes to bake. It’s loaded with good flavor, and it has ‘comfort food’ written all over it.

This casserole is loaded with cream and three types of delicious cheese, with just the right amounts of rosemary, oregano, and nutmeg to draw out all of the sweet and savory flavors. I think that this is a great choice of side dish if you want something rich and hearty to complement a main dish on the leaner or lighter side – though you could serve it with any main course that you’d otherwise serve with basic mashed potatoes. I had mine with some yummy meatloaf.
