Mashed Potato Casserole

Mashed Potato Casserole.   The creamiest, cheesiest mashed potatoes EVER!  This easy to make side dish is loaded up with extra melty cheese, crispy bacon, and chives.  The best part?  You can make this dish ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven to heat back up!  This dish will end up being the highlight of any meal! 

This mashed potato casserole is melt in your mouth creamy and smooth, loaded up with tons of melty cheese, crunchy panko bread crumbs, topped with crisp salty bacon, and bits of chives for color and a pop of fresh flavor.

I know mashed potatoes are typically a side dish, but I’m thinking in the case of this dish we may be ok making it an entire meal.  No judgment here!  It’s absolutely possible I attacked this dish with a fork once the pics were done!

Mashed potatoes have forever been my favorite side dish.  There’s so many ways to enjoy them.  Plain.  Loaded with butter.  Drenched in gravy.  But I think the combination of mashed potatoes with cheese and bacon is my all time favorite!
