Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Large Pot
Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 8 ounces bacon cooked crispy and crumbled
- 8 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (or a mix like Monterey Jack, Colby Jack)
- 6 green onions thinly sliced (for the potatoes)
- 6 cups prepared pulled pork 6 to 8 cups total, store-bought or homemade
- 4 ounces Colby Jack cheese shredded (for topping)
- 3 green onions sliced (for topping, optional)
- Cooking spray
- Salt for potato water
Instructions
- Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain all the water completely.
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Roughly mash them, then add the softened cream cheese, butter, crispy bacon, the first 6 sliced green onions, and 8 ounces of shredded cheese. Mash everything together until it's smooth and well combined. Spread this creamy potato mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
- Spread the pulled pork evenly over the mashed potato layer. Then, sprinkle the remaining 4 ounces of shredded Colby Jack cheese on top of the pulled pork.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted, and the casserole is heated through.
- For an extra burst of freshness, sprinkle with the additional sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting casserole!
