Baked Mashed Potatoes

I received this recipe from my aunt Shari and made it last night. I don't know about you but I feel like I always get stuck making the same sides for my chicken. It's usually a veggie and roasted potatoes, rice or mac'n cheese. I was so happy to get this new recipe because it gives me another side option and it is easy and good!

Ingredients:

1 bag Ore-Ida "Steam'n Mash" cut red potatoes (or russet potatoes)

2/3 c. canned evaporated milk

2 tbsp. butter

4 oz. cream cheese

1/2 c. sour cream

2 tsp. chives, chopped

3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 c. bacon crumbs (I used turkey bacon)

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.

- Microwave potatoes according to the directions on the bag.

- In a medium bowl, mash cooked potatoes, evaporated milk and butter together.

- Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, chives, salt and pepper.

- Spread mixture into the baking pan evenly.

- Top with cheese and bacon.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
