How To Make twice baked potato casserole

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F In medium mixing bowl combine ground beef, onion, salt, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix well. Press into ungreased deep-dish pie dish.
  • Step 2
    Spread 1/4 cup sour cream on top of meat. Sprinkle on the dried minced garlic as much or as little as you want. Next sprinkle on 1/2 cup cheese. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    In another mixing bowl combine mashed potatoes, rest of sour cream, and mayonnaise. Spread on top of the topped meat mixture sealing it to the edges. Sprinkle with rest of cheese.
  • Step 4
    Place dish on a baking sheet in case it bubbles over. Bake in preheated oven for 40 - 50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted to meat mixture reaches 165°F.
  • Step 5
    On top of the hot casserole sprinkle bacon and tomatoes. Let rest at least 20 minutes or it will be a sloppy mess trying to get it out. (Think unrested lasagna)
  • Step 6
    Serve and enjoy!
