Ingredients:
3 cups warm mashed potatoes (I use potato flakes/buds)
2 cups (12 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons real bacon bits
2 tablespoons dried chives, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to make this recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, the sour
cream, bacon bits, 1 tablespoon dried chives, and the pepper;
mix well.

Spoon into the casserole dish and top with the remaining 1/2 cup
mozzarella cheese. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until heated
through and the cheese is golden. Sprinkle with the remaining
1 tablespoon chives and serve. Notes: Note: To lighten this up a little, use a reduced-fat cheese (and a little less than the amount called for), a reduced-fat sour
cream, and pass on the bacon.

Prep time: 5 minutes once you have the mashed potatoes

Serves 6 to 8
