cheesy potato casserole recipe

Before we start into this delectable side dish, I need to make the following disclaimer.

Calories don’t exist on holiday feast day.

They just don’t. They can’t really. 😉

I’m teasing…there are ways to be smart about calories at a holiday feast…but I like to pretend they don’t count or exist. (hehe)

Making this calorie disclaimer is important with this recipe…but so is this one: this cheesy potato casserole goes a long way. Like, it will make 12 to 16 side dish servings, from a 9×13 inch baking dish. The more you divide, the smaller the servings, and then the fewer the calories…

There I go with the calories again.

Seriously, if you are counting calories and fat, use light sour cream and a little less cheese on top.

But, remember…they don’t count at holiday meals. 😛

OK…I’ll stop…and we’ll just move onto the recipe. K?

 

This one is inspired by my mom-in-love. She makes something similar for holiday meals. And boy, oh boy…

Here’s my version…

Cheese and potatoes. Does it get any better?!
Prep Time10 minutes minutes
Cook Time45 minutes minutes
Servings - 12 servings

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, melted butter, spicy brown mustard, garlic powder, onion powder and 1 cup of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Stir in the frozen potatoes and mix well.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until potatoes have softened.

    Love your work Erin.

    We love Cheesy Potatoes but are empty nesters and only need 2 servings. I have found that they freeze very well. They look a little watery at first but warm them up and they are amazing.
