is that they are even better when you twice bake them into a savory casserole filled with cheese, bacon, and garlic! So, yesterday I was thumbing through one of my old cookbooks and came across a recipe called twice baked mashed potatoes. After reading the ingredients list and method, I was sold!

I found another recipe online at Foodie Tale that incorporated garlic (one of my stinky lovers) and I knew I had to bake up this to-good-to-be-true casserole. My family absolutely loved this mashed potato bake and gobbled it down like a pack of hungry wolves. Speaking of which, my dog kept sniffing around the table hoping and “pawing” that’d we’d give him a taste. He’s such a sweet dog and definitely knows good food when he smells it.

Quick Tip: This casserole makes a great companion for any meat entree such as meatloaf or BBQed chicken.

We’ve all had a good chicken and cheese quesadilla at least once in our lives, and boy are they good! How about stuffing your tortilla with bacon, egg, and cheese? Now THAT is something to try!

Why haven’t I ever thought of this before!? I’m sure you’ve had breakfast burritos before, but a breakfast quesadilla? Yup, I’m making this ASAP! No need for a quesadilla maker, you can make these right in a frying pan. Top these with some salsa and you are in for one delicious morning meal.
