Cheese and Back Bacon Pie image

Not really a pie, more a cheese, potato, and bacon mess with a crispy topping! Very fattening. I like to serve this with fresh bread smothered in lots of butter and canned chopped tomatoes.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (8 ounce) packages Red Leicester cheese
2 ¼ pounds red potatoes, cubed
1 (8 ounce) package unsmoked back bacon
3 ½ ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut Red Leicester cheese into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.
  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until completely cooked but not too crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
  • Drain potatoes and then mash them roughly; you want a few lumps left in this. Add Red Leicester, chopped bacon, and lots of black pepper; stir to combine. Transfer to a large, deep, oven-proof dish and sprinkle grated Cheddar over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
