Mississippi Mud Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Boil potatoes: Place diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain well.
  3. Mix casserole: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve some for topping, if desired), green onions, salt, and pepper. Fold in the drained potatoes until evenly coated.
  4. Assemble: Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and reserved bacon on top. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
  5. Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  6. Serve: Let cool slightly, then garnish with extra green onions if desired. Enjoy!
