Loaded Baked Potato Casserole

This was a recipe I made and served on Christmas day. We had it along with our prime rib and I must say...delicious! My mom kept commenting on how good this dish was and she was right! It makes a bunch so it’s great for a crowd but it’s also okay to make it up and freeze half before baking. we really enjoyed this super easy casserole...I think you will, too!
