Crispy Tater Bacon Casserole

Crispy Tater Bacon Casserole

 

 

One medium potato per person, thinly sliced.

 

+ One potato "for the pot" for every 4 people. (Example: four people = five potatoes. Two people I would still use three potatoes!)

 

Chopped onion

 

minced garlic

 

minced jalapeño pepper

 

shredded cheese (your favorite variety)

 

thin sliced bacon (uncooked) cut into 1" pieces

 

I started with lightly oiling a cast iron skillet. With the amount of bacon I used, this may of been unnecessary!

 

Place a layer of bacon in the bottom of the skillet (or casserole dish.) I did NOT solidly cover the bottom, but left room between the pieces.

Over this I placed a layer of sliced potatoes.

Next, onion, garlic, and jalapeño peppers. (As much of these as you like- I used one jalapeño in the entire dish, one onion, and three small cloves of garlic)

Another layer of potatoes.

Top with shredded cheese, and more bacon on top of that.

 

Shove the skillet into a hot oven (450*) for about 20-25 minutes- until it begins to be a beautiful brown.

 

Remove from oven, tilt to drain grease off!

 

Serve hot!
