CHEESE AND BACK BACON PIE

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.

Ingredients

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.
