Cheez Whiz Loaded Baked Potato Recipes

LOADED CHEESY POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9x13 casserole dish.
• Preheat a large sauce pot over medium heat and saute 1/2 lb of diced bacon until most of the fat is rendered and it starts to crisp.
• Add diced onion and saute until softened. Press garlic and stir it into the bacon and onion mixture.
• Sprinkle flour all over bacon and onions and stir until completely incorporated throughout.
• Slowly pour in chicken stock while stirring and mix until flour is incorporated.
• Pour in milk and let it cook until sauce starts to thicken. Season with salt and pepper and add cream cheese and sour cream.
• Stir until cream cheese is incorporated and add shredded cheese. Keep stirring slowly until cheese is melted and take off heat.
• Stir in diced green onions.
• In a separate cooking pan, saute remaining diced bacon for the topping. (Don't make it too crispy because it will continue to cook on top of the casserole.)
• Pour diced hash browns into a large mixing bowl and add the cheesy sauce. Mix it together until evenly incorporated throughout.
• Pour potato mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
• Spread more cheese over the top and cooked bacon pieces over cheese. Bake for about 40 minutes.

LOADED BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
• Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
• Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
• When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
• Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
• Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.
