What Is Twice Baked Potato Casserole?

This casserole is a deconstructed, family-style version of the classic twice-baked potato. Instead of scooping and refilling individual potatoes, you layer chunks of baked Yukon Golds with bacon, sour cream, and cheese in one pan.

It’s creamy on the inside, perfectly cheesy on top, and full of that smoky bacon flavor we all crave. Think of it as loaded baked potatoes turned into the ultimate crowd-pleasing casserole.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Easy Prep: No fussy potato scooping — just layer and bake!

• Feeds a Crowd: Perfect for holidays, parties, or family dinners.

• Comfort in Every Bite: Creamy, cheesy, smoky, and totally irresistible.

• Customizable: Add your favorite mix-ins or tweak the cheeses.

What It Tastes Like

The flavor is everything you love about a loaded baked potato — rich, cheesy, and slightly smoky from the bacon. The sour cream adds just the right tang, while the green onions give a fresh pop that balances the richness.

When this comes out of the oven bubbling and golden, the smell alone is enough to draw everyone into the kitchen!
