Mashed Potato Casserole

So it has been an incredibly busy Thursday, but such is life when you work in retail and it is 9 days before Christmas.  I just got home from work and my wonderful hubby has leftover turkey and stuff from their work potluck, so thats what I am having for dinner.  So what does that make me really want--my mashed potato casserole.  Okay, this is the EASIEST thing ever.  And is a great twist on mashed potatoes and baked potatoes, and I guarantee will be a hit for the holidays.

Baked Mashed Potato Casserole

**Boil your favorite potatoes for mashed potatoes just like you normally would.  Prepare them with butter, milk, salk, pepper just like you normally would once they are soft.  (at this point they would be just like normal "mashed potatoes")

Sour Cream
Shredded Cheese, chedder is best
Diced Onion
Bacon, cooked crispy and chopped up (you can also use diced ham if you like it better)
Green onion, diced

(you will notice that those are not exact measurements, that is because it is up to you to decide how much you want to "jazz it up", use as much or as little as your taste likes, we personally like a lot of onion and lot of cheese, but not as much bacon in my house, so thats what I do.  Customize it to your taste)

**Mix with your mashed potatoes your sour cream, diced onion, bacon (you can also used diced up ham if you like that better), and 3/4th of your shredded cheese. 
**Put in baking dish.  Cover with remainder of your shredded cheese, and diced green onion.
**Bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes until cheese on top is golden and bubbly. 

Serve immediately!!

So I hope you all are having a great week, and I hope you all are cooking some great meals.  Let me know what you have experimented with and what has worked for you and what hasn't.  Let me know if you have tried anything new, and what it was.  I'd love to hear your recipe.
