Don't you love church picnics? Whenever there's a parish picnic or potluck dinner announced I get so excited. It's not only a time to see and fellowship with friends but it's a chance to taste some amazing food, drink gallons of sweet tea and learn about other recipes, some of which have been passed down from many generations. We had just such a picnic on Sunday after church. This time I brought an apple pie but one recipe I sometimes make is Loaded Baked Potato Casserole. Whenever I've taken this dish to a potluck, I don't have as much as a tablespoon left to bring home. I made this a couple of weeks ago for the four of us and we managed to do quite a number on it. Enjoy!

Mmm, this is making my mouth water! I make this, too, Rebecca! Somehow, over the years, it became a traditional dish I serve for Christmas Day brunch. It is wonderful.
YUM! Off my diet but sounds fabulous!
Rebecca...I've had this before and it is delicious. I'll have to make it soon...
Willow, it would make a great brunch dish! I'll have to remember that.
MMM, I hear you! So delicious but certainly not diet friendly...
Dee Dee I haven't met a dish with bacon and cheese that I don't like.
Potluck lunches are great. They used to be a highlight of my weekend - choosing something to make, preparing and sharing it, then swapping recipes! What fun! Apple pie for a Sunday picnic sounds wonderful! Your potato bake recipe looks and sounds yummy too! I can tell you love to cook ;)...me too! Wouldn't it be fun to have 'blogging potluck' and recipe swap? I think you've given me an idea...

Question for you...the Hydrangea Queen... :)....I have 3 hydrangeas. Two are doing great but one has never had a bloom. It's probably about 8 years old and looks healthy otherwise. Any ideas?
Mmmm, I like the idea of serving it at a bunch so I'm printing this one out. My stack of recipes has really grown since I started blogging.
Rebecca, I'm tagging you!!! You're IT!!! But only if you'd like to play...no pressure...come on over for the details. :)
Sounds Super~delish Becky!
Thank you for sharing your recipe!

Hi Rebecca! Catching up on your blog and this recipe is one I will definitely print off, but looks more like something I would enjoy in the fall.... I like the name, yes, it is 'loaded' indeed.... these are many of the ingredients that you find in "potato skins" (not sure if you are familiar with that dish...it is made with baked potatoes and basically all the good stuff gets mashed and poured into the potato skins....
