Loaded Baked Potato Casserole

I went to the store to buy ingredients for a potato casserole I found in my Church cookbook.

But I am not usually one for following recipes and changed my mind walking through the store.

I started thinking how good a loaded baked potato sounded, but we had just had baked potatoes, and I wanted to switch it up.

I took all of the goodness of a loaded baked potato and whipped up this casserole!

It was FABULOUS!!

We ate it with steaks on the grill, but it's hearty enough, it could be your meal!
