Texas Baked Potato Casserole image

We've had this at our Family Reunion for years! It's always been a hit with everyone. I always bake the potatoes a day or two before and refrigerate.It makes cooking time very short!

Categories     Potatoes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8-10 large potatoes, baked
2 stick butter, softened
1 - 32 oz sour cream
10 slice bacon, fried
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 can(s) green chilies,drained & chopped
4 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1 pkg ranch dressing,dry
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Bake potatoes and refrigerate the night before. There easy to handle when you go to slice them.
  • 2. Mix ranch dressing, green chilies & sour cream the night before. It gives it time to marry the flavors. But not necessary.
  • 3. Also go ahead and fry the bacon and crumble it. Stick in the refrigerate over night.
  • 4. Also slice the green onions and put in refrigerator.
  • 5. The more you do the night before the easier it is the day of the BBQ or party! It's easy peasy!
  • 6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 7. Slice potatoes with a mandolin. That way potatoes warm evenly. Use a casserole dish 9X13 or larger if you have one. Spray with PAM or what ever you like or even butter it. You don't want it to stick.
  • 8. Put a layer of potatoes,butter, sour cream then cheese. Till the last layer that's when you use the bacon. The green onions go on after it comes out of oven. Sometimes I just sit aside the green onions in a bowl and let them help them selves as some don't like onions at all! Enjoy!
  • 9. Bake for 35-45 minutes
