Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
-
Prepare the Potato Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced potatoes with chopped green chilies, cream of mushroom soup, milk, crumbled bacon, and cheese sauce. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed, coating the potatoes thoroughly.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add the bacon drippings. Once hot, sauté the chopped bell pepper and onion until they are tender and fragrant, approximately 5–7 minutes.
-
Combine and Assemble: Add the sautéed bell pepper and onion mixture to the potato mixture, stirring everything to combine well.
-
Bake: Transfer the combined mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1½ hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
-
Serve: Remove from the oven, carefully uncover, and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or a hearty main, garnished with a sprinkle of extra cheese or green onions if desired.
Enjoy this creamy, slightly spicy, and hearty potato dish as the perfect comfort food or a fantastic addition to any gathering.
