For a richer flavor, use Gruyere or a sharp white cheddar cheese. Add a pinch of garlic powder to the sauce for extra depth. Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier, healthier twist. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. If you don't have bacon, try using ham or pancetta for a similar savory element.

Mar 18, 2025This recipe was a hit at our potluck! Everyone loved the creamy texture and cheesy flavor. The bacon added the perfect touch of smokiness.
