BACON CHEDDAR POTATO CASSEROLE
Bacon cheddar potato casserole is easy and delicious.
This casserole is wonderful to take to any holiday meal or event. If your family and friends like potatoes they will love this casserole. My family loves potatoes and I am always looking for new ways to make them when we get together. I recently made these for our Labor Day weekend cookout and they went over really big. You could double this recipe or cut it in half for just a few people. It keeps well refrigerated and can be warmed up in the oven or microwave.

This is delicious. A family favourite. But I did add paprika, parsley, and all purpose seasoning. It was really good.
Can this be done in the crockpot?
We have never made this dish in the crockpot. You can certainly try it.
Great dish…You can add cubed chicken breast as well…very delish! And dash or two of franks hot sauce.
Can you prepare this and store in the fridge to cook the next day?
I’ve never tried, but don’t see why you couldn’t.
Can the sour cream be substituted for something?
You could probably leave it out, Jackie, since it is only 1/4 cup.
Can I use frozen potatoes
I think that would be ok, Betty, but have not tried it.
A friend of mine has made a similar dish using frozen hash browns. It was very good and saved her some time preparing it.
