A creamy and hearty casserole that combines the best of loaded baked potatoes and comforting soup, topped with crispy bacon, gooey cheddar cheese, and fresh green onions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion, diced finely
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced thinly
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 5 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the milk, whisking until smooth. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Transfer the soup mixture to a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish. Spread evenly.
  8. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions before serving.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for better texture and flavor. Avoid overcooking the potatoes to maintain their shape. Customize toppings to suit your preferences.
