This was adapted form a recipe on the Taste of Home web site. love Loaded Bake Potatoes but my daughter won't let me eat them around her, especially in public. She says that I mutate them and it's embarrassing to her. So, when I saw the recipe for Loaded Potato Casserole, it seemed only natural to Ranch it up...!
