Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fry Bacon: Begin by frying the bacon until it’s perfectly crisp, then drain it well on paper towels to remove excess grease. |
| 2 | Sauté Onions: In the same pan, reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease and sauté the onions until they’re soft and translucent. Drain the onions well to remove any excess grease. |
| 3 | Prepare Potatoes: While the bacon and onions are cooking, thinly slice the potatoes. |
| 4 | Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). |
| 5 | Layer Casserole: Butter a 13×9 casserole dish, then begin layering the ingredients. Start with a layer of thinly sliced potatoes, followed by a layer of crispy bacon, then add the sautéed onions on top. Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of potatoes. |
| 6 | Prepare Cream Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, cheddar cheese, and cream of mushroom soup until well combined. |
| 7 | Pour Mixture: Pour the sour cream and cheese mixture evenly over the layered potatoes in the casserole dish. |
| 8 | Bake: Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the mixture is bubbly and heated through. |
| 9 | Final Touch: During the last 20 minutes of baking, remove the foil to allow the top to brown slightly. |
| 10 | Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of Cream of Mushroom Scalloped Potatoes! |
