I was actually surprised by the taste of this dish. Quick and cheap way to spice up instant mash. I gave it 4 stars because the directions needed additional detail. I added milk b/c it seemed a little dry but none the less it was good.

For these types of dishes, try crushed Goldfish crackers instead of bread crumbs... delicious!

I have been making these for years since I found them on this site. They are a huge hit at the holidays and one of the staples for us, everyone looks forward to them. I use more bacon bits then it calls for and about ¼ - ½ of the topping. I just use enough toping to cover it, the topping is a little dry and one year I am sure I will change it but if it aint broke why fix it! Also I do not use fresh onions I use minced onions instead, the fresh onions can very easy overpower the dish.

Superb! Extremely cheesy which my wife loves! It was super easy to make and came out wonderful. We added more garlic because we are garlic fiends but everything else stayed the same.

You can't tell this was made with instant potatoes. I agree with the others, I too will cut the topping down to half of the amout called for in the recipe.

I skipped the topping as suggested but followed the rest of the recipe as posted. It was a bit heavy on the onion flavor but that can easily be remedied. I will be making this one again.

Wow! An amazing recipe! I cooked this for my family last night and loved it... and I agree, there were too many bread crumbs, so I'll cut that down next time & adding the 1/2 cup of sour cream made them even better :) Delish!

Awesome! Like many others, I tweaked a bit. I followed directions but substituted/omitted a few things--I used my homemade mashed potatoes, substituted Cheddar cheese for the American, used freshly grated Parmesan, real bacon, and almost one entire bunch of minced green onion. I only used 1/2 c bread crumbs but all the butter called for in recipe, and put the whole thing in a large shallow Pyrex pie pan (the big one with the scalloped edges) so there'd be a thin layer of bread crumbs over a large surface. Everyone raved about this dish---phenomenally good! A nice change from our usual cheesey scalloped potato dish!

This was SO good! I used real mashed potatoes and real bacon and didn't use breadcrumbs becuased my husband doesn't like breadcrumb toppings. I mixed it all up the night before and refrigerated it, just kept it in the oven for a little longer. This one's a keeper.
