Healthy Fact of the Day

For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and substitute heavy cream with milk. You can also add steamed broccoli or cauliflower for extra nutrients.

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  3. Mash Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the potatoes with sour cream, heavy cream, and melted butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Layer Casserole: Spread the mashed potatoes evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

  5. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese and chopped green onions. Serve hot as a side dish or main course.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

All-you-can-eat promotions can be a great value, but it’s easy to overdo it when the food keeps coming. Shrimp is actually one of the leanest proteins you can order — low in calories and high in protein — so leaning toward preparations like the Garlic Shrimp Scampi or the new Marry Me Shrimp over heavily breaded options like Walt’s Favorite is a smart way to enjoy the deal without the heaviness. Slowing down between rounds and drinking water throughout the meal also helps you tune into your hunger cues before ordering more.
