Hey, hey! Happy 4th of July–I hope you had a fantastic weekend! 🙂

We had a great weekend together, and I am super thankful for that!

We went to the McKinney parade, grilled, swam, and then ended the day with sparklers and a movie!

Today, I am sharing  one of my favorite recipes for your next BBQ.  I’ve been making this for many years, and it never disappoints!

Baked Potato Casserole

Ingredients

3 pkgs Instant mashed potatoes (family size)
1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix
1 16 oz container of sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 pkg of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a 9×13 baking dish.  Set aside.
• Prepare bacon and mashed potatoes as instructed on packages. Crumble bacon and set aside. Mix mashed potatoes, ranch dressing mix, sour cream, 2 cups of cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon together in a mixing bowl.  Spoon into prepared pan.   Bake for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.

I often make this night before we have company, cover, and then bake and serve the day of.  It turns out great every time!

Happy Tuesday, my friends!
