LOADED POTATO CASSEROLE

INGREDIENTS

• 6 russet potatoes, sliced into ¼” slices
• 1 cup shredded monterey cheese
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• fresh or dried parsley, to garnish (optional)
• 2 cups milk
• 2 large eggs

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter two 9-inch pie pans. Set aside.
2. Layer half of the potato slices in the dish, overlapping slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cheeses on top of the potatoes and add the crumbled bacon pieces. Add the other half of the potato slices on top of the cheese.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the milk and eggs. Pour half of the mixture over top of the potatoes.
4. Remove the steps above for the second 9-inch pie pan.
5. Sprinkle the parsley on top (optional).
6. Cover with foil and bake for 90 minutes, or until the custard, eggs and milk, are cooked and set. Allow the dish to rest for fifteen TO twenty minutes before serving.

NOTES
May also be made in a 9×13 baking dish. I used two 9-inch pie pans because I froze one.
