Ingredients

  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings and discard the rest. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook them over medium heat until they are browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  5. Transfer the potato mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Teena's Bacon and Cheddar Potatoes!
