Loaded Baked Potato Bake

Years ago we used to have  HUGE Super Bowl parties, amazing food and tons of friends. But for the past 10 years we've done a HUGE New Years party and so doing another HUGE party a month later seemed like overkill. My husband misses our Super Bowl parties so this year we decided to forgo the New Years party and instead are planning a HUGE Super Bowl party. The one  requirement for scoring a invite to our party is  that we ask our guests to bring the "one dish they are famous for". This insures fantastic food and it also means I don't have to cook everything...yay!!

 This potato recipe was being tested to see if it is better than my Ashley Potatoes recipe that Ashley brought to one of our Super Bowl parties years ago. Note: this recipe is a winner!!! 

Ingredients 

1 (16oz) container sour cream

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1 (3oz) bag real bacon bits

1 packages Ranch Dip mix

roughly 15 oz bag frozen hash brown potatoes - shredded kind

This recipe can be doubled very easily for a bigger crowd.

Directions 

Combine first 4 ingredients, mix in hash browns.  Spread into a greased 9x13 pan or casserole dish.  Bake at 400 for 45-60 minutes.
