Easy Loaded Baked Potato Casserole

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender about 20 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot.

Meanwhile arrange bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat turning occasionally until evenly browned about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and crumble.

Combine 1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese evaporated milk sour cream salt and black pepper in the pot with potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until creamy. Spread potato mixture into prepared baking dish.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes; sprinkle with bacon green onions and remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Return to oven and continue baking until cheese is melted about 5 minutes more.
