EASY LOADED MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Gather and prep ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly grease a medium baking dish with butter or cooking oil spray. (I use an 8"x12".)
• In a saucepan, heat water, butter and salt to just boiling.
• Remove from heat and stir in milk and potato flakes (if too thick, add a little more milk; if too thin, stir in a few more potato flakes.)
• Add sour cream to potatoes, mixing well.
• Fold in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and one tablespoon of the bacon bits, reserving remainder of cheese and bacon bits for the topping.
• Empty potato mixture into prepared baking dish, smoothing to level.
