Provided by carvalhohm

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box (4.7 ounce) Betty Crocker™ au gratin potatoes
2 cups boiling water
1 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
6 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (4 ounces)
1/4 cup green onions, sliced (4 medium)
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/2 cup Progresso™ plain bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F. In 2 quart casserole, mix potatoes, sauce mix, boiling water, half-and-half and butter. Stir in remaining potato ingredients. Bake uncovered 35 minutes. In small bowl, mix bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over top. Bake 8 minutes longer or until topping is golden. Sprinkle with parsley. Let stand 5 minutes before serving (sauce will thicken as it stands). Prep your potatoes up to step 3 and refrigerate them covered for up to 24 hours. No Jack cheese? Cheddar makes a flavorful stand in.
