Loaded Potatoe Casserole

Recipes »  Side Dish  »  Potatoes

One of our favorite dips is Cheddar Bacon Ranch dip, or what I refer to as "Crack".  I usually only make it during football season because it is HIGHLY addictive.  I only made this once this football season and  I forgot to take it to the tailgate.  I left it in my parent's refrigerator!  I was devastated!  

I took the dip back home and started thinking about what to do with it - other than eat it all by myself.  I decided to mix the dip into a big bag of frozen hash browns.  The result? A fantastic potato casserole!

"Delicious! Could potentially make this even without the ranch if you wanted. I pan-fried my own bacon and then broke it up. The bottom tended to brown more than the top, FYI... so watch the bottom as well as the top when baking..." - tm4girl

These are amazing! Everyone loved them. Easy enough our 5 year old mixed all ingredients. We only used 1 packet Ranch dip mix.
