My fussy teenagers loved this! I left out the bacon and made a veggie meal out of it w/o any complaints. I will certainly make it again. Served w/ a salad and garlic bread.

I love this casserole, with some adjustments. I make the mashed potatoes as I would usually make potatoes - with plenty of butter, sour cream, salt and pepper as well as the cream cheese, cheddar and bacon bits. This is a regular dinner recipe at our house.

I made this for my boyfriend and I. Overall, I thought that it was good, but it needed something. The next time I make this I'm going to add butter to my mashed potatoes, as well as a light seasoning of salt & pepper.

the best thing about recipes from here is they give you a great starting place. Also Love the recipe because it warms you and it would be a great camping food all those carbs to give you the energy to go hiking. I cooks well in a dutch oven too.

This was a delicious dish and it went so well with the salad. I used real bacon crumbled in. My 15 yearold son calls this "ambrosia" and he loves to eat the leftovers for breakfast.
