Ingredients

6 c. prepared mashed potatoes (I prepare with butter and milk)

1 c. sour cream

1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix, unprepared (I use Hidden Valley brand)

2 c. shredded cheddar cheese, divided

6 slices cooked bacon, chopped

6 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, 1 c. cheese, bacon and onions. Spread into large casserole dish. Bake for 25 minutes or until heated. Remove from oven and sprinkle top with remaining 1 c. cheese. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese on top is melted. Garnish if desired with extra bacon and green onions.
