Loaded Potato Bake

Who doesn't love a Loaded Baked Potato?  Something about potatoes, BBQ pork and sour cream all smothered in cheese....well, it's just meant to be!

I added a  Loaded Potato Bake to my menu this week. It's a quick fix meal that my family loves!


I start out by boiling my potaotes (I used red because that's what I had, but any potato will do) for about 15-20 mins. A quick fork test will tell you if they're done.   Then drain and pour them into a casserole dish.



I usually leave the skin on my red potaotes;0) This is where I sprinkle a little salt...not too much!


Next, I add the BBQ! Good BBQ is not hard to find in the South, so I picked up a couple of pounds from a local restaurant. It's a sweet BBQ pork and it's deeeelish! I used about half for this dish and the rest will be used for sandwiches or soup!

Just cover the potatoes with it!!



It's time for sour cream and cheese!!

I mix about 1 cup of sour cream and 1 cup of shredded cheddar together....then spread on top of BBQ!

Easy Peasy!    *I do add a little more cheese to the top after this step.*

You can NEVER have too much cheese.


Bake it in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes!  If the cheese isn't melted on top the way you like it...crank up the broiler for a couple of mins....


It's Done!!! * yes, that's cracked black pepper you see...yummy!


I served it with Green Beans and Garlic Toast!

I don't really have a 'recipe' for this dish, but here's what goes in it. (more or less...depending on size of dish)

For a 2 quart casserole dish....

8-10 red potatoes...washed, cut up & boiled
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 lb of shredded BBQ pork
salt & pepper to taste


Happy Foodie Friday! Stop by and be inspired to try new dishes!!
