Ranch Potatoes

So this isn't exactly the most healthy way to eat potatoes, but you can't really go wrong in the taste department when it comes to cheese and bacon.  Here we have the ranch potatoes recipe:

Ingredients:
8-10 medium potatoes (cut into ½” cubes)
1 can cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
1 ½ cups milk
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
salt and pepper
6  bacon slices (cooked until crispy and crumbled)

Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Add potatoes to a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are almost tender. Drain.
Step 2: Lightly grease an 13×9 inch casserole dish. In a bowl mix together cream of mushroom soup, milk, ranch dressing, 1 cup of the cheese, salt and pepper. Pour over potatoes in the casserole dish.
Step 3: Sprinkle remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the crumbled bacon over the top. Place into the oven and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
(Makes 6 Servings)

I halved this recipe since it would feed a large family and there are only 2 of us... 3 including the baby.  :-)  And me and my husband are both fans of this recipe.  It definitely has a lot of ingredients for a side dish, but it's great if you're feeling iffy about your main dish or if your main dish isn't super flavorful.  I will definitely use this recipe again.
