How to make Twice Baked Potato Casserole

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 medium to large potatoes (russet or gold)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• ¾ cup sour cream
• ½ cup whole or 2% milk
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 cups shredded cheddar
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack
• 8 slices bacon cooked crispy and crumbled
• 4 green onions

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash, dry, and prick the potatoes with a fork. Place in the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes or until fork-tender.

Plunge the baked potatoes into ice-cold water. Using your fingers gently peel the potatoes. Cut the hot potatoes into large cubes and scoop them into a large bowl.

Add the butter, sour cream, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, half the bacon, and half the scallions. Mash with a handheld potato masher and spoon into a 2-quart baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Bake 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is hot.
