Loaded Baked Potato Casserole is a delicious weeknight meal that can be made as one big casserole or in individual serving dishes. Load this dish up with chicken, cheese, green onions, bacon, and all your favorite baked potato fixings.
Cook the bacon as desired. (I like to bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 425 degrees while cooking the potatoes. Place the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet covered in foil for easy clean up. Transfer to a paper towel when finished baking; break into pieces when cool.)
Peel and cut the potatoes into large chunks. Place potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Add 2 tsp salt, reduce heat and simmer until just tender, but not falling apart. (About 15 minutes.) Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Add the cream and butter to the potatoes, roughly mash with a fork (leaving some chunks).
Add the chicken, scallions, bacon, 6oz cheese, remaining salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mix well to combine.
Transfer to a shallow baking dish or 6-8 large ramekins.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake until melted at 350 degrees. (About 15 minutes for ramekins or 20-25 for casserole.)
