Twice Baked Potatoes Casserole Ingredients

4-6 large baker potatoes (basically 1 potato for every 2 people)

1 cup sour cream

1 stick of butter

1 pack of bacon (cooked and chopped)

Bundle of green onions (chopped)

4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Cooking spray (olive oil)

Salt & Pepper

How to Make Twice Baked Potatoes Casserole

Heat oven to 400 F.

Start by washing the potatoes to remove any soil.

Spray potatoes with olive oil spray.

Wrap in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake 80 minutes.

Squeeze to see if potatoes are soft. If not, bake additional 15 – 30 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the bacon according to package directions.

Once potatoes are done, remove from oven and carefully remove the foil.

Split the potato down the middle and allow to cool for 10 – 15 minutes or until safe to handle.

Remove the skins. The skin should easily pull away from the potato.

Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Add in the butter, sour cream, bacon, green onions, and 2 cups of cheese. Mix well.

If looks too dry, perhaps add 1/4 cup of milk.

Place in a casserole dish or a 9’ x 13” baking pan.

Top with remaining cheddar cheese.

Garnish with more green onions and bacon if you desire.

Bake for 25 – 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and let sit a few minutes. It will be bubbly and gooey deliciousness. Enjoy!

Fresh Corn Cut Off the Cob

Fresh corn cut off the cob will change the way you eat corn forever. I had never given any thought to cutting corn off the cob, but just about every time we had corn on the cob, Mike would reminisce about how his Grandma in Pensacola would always cut it off the cob for his Grandpa every Sunday when they had their after church dinner.

And let me tell you, they are so good!

I could eat them like dessert.

Mike’s Black Eyed Peas Recipe

I cook my Black Eyed Peas Recipe whenever Beryl goes out of town.

Beryl’s out of town, gone to Scotland for nine days, so I wanted to cook up a pot of something that I could eat on for a few meals.

(Unlike Beryl, I don’t mind eating the same thing 3-4 meals in a row, as long as it is something good!)

We already had spaghetti sauce and chili in the freezer, and I was really wanting something different, as well as easy to make…

Didn’t feel like jambalaya (I eat way too much of it when we have it), and neither red beans and rice or white beans was calling me.

I was looking around in the cabinet, and saw a bag of black-eyed peas. This sounded really good (and easy)…
