Ingredients:
- 5 potatoes
- 1 package of Velveeta cheese slices
- 1/2 – 1 cup of butter
- 1 onion
- 1/2 pound of bacon
- 1 cup of milk
- Ritz crackers (enough to cover each layer)
Instructions:
-
Layer Potatoes: Start by peeling and slicing the potatoes, then arrange a layer of them on the bottom of a deep casserole dish.
-
-
Add Flavorful Layers: Sprinkle chopped onions over the potatoes, followed by crispy bacon pieces. Place thin slices of butter evenly over the bacon layer. Crush a quarter of the stack of Ritz crackers on top, then pour a quarter cup of milk evenly over everything.
-
Cheese it Up: Now, place slices of Velveeta cheese evenly over the milk layer, ensuring each potato slice gets some cheesy goodness.
-
Repeat and Bake: Repeat the layering process until the casserole dish is filled to the brim with deliciousness. Bake in a preheated oven at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for 40-60 minutes, covering the dish to ensure the potatoes cook through and the cheese melts into gooey perfection.
