Twice-Baked Potato Casserole … Because, Why Not?
Oh, I think you should make this. I really do. What’s not to love about potatoes and cheese and butter and cream and bacon?
After church yesterday, we gathered with a few friends to watch the playoff game. Seahawks vs. 49ers. And, you know, we were pretty confident that we would come out on top. But still, it’s a good idea to have a lot of comfort food around just in case. Jay made some pretty spectacular prime rib, Kathy made her famous chocolate chip cookies, and I made my favorite chocolate cake and twice-baked potato casserole for a crowd. Win or lose, we were good to go.
We won. Which just made everything taste a tiny bit better.

Note: There were 10 adults and 6 children at the gathering, and a lot of people had seconds, and I still brought home a few helpings of casserole. So you might want to cut the portions down for your family. Of course I don’t know your casserole-consuming abilities, so then again, you might not.
Just before baking, melt the second stick of butter and pour over the casserole. I poked a few holes here and there to help it along.
After about 30 minutes, sprinkle with the French fried onions, the remaining cheese, the chopped bacon, and the chopped chives.
Nice and bubbly.
A little mood lighting. Does that make you want a bite?
