Is there a substitution for sour cream?

Yes, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Actually, I used Fage 0% milk fat Greek Yogurt in this recipe. Furthermore, I almost always use this Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in recipes.

Can I substitute cheddar cheese for the Colby Cheddar mix?

Yes, I prefer the Colby cheddar mix because cheddar tends to be oily when melted. However, you can use all cheddar. As well, you can use any cheese you have on hand. Gouda, Havarti, and Monterrey are very good choices.

Can I bake this casserole in the oven?

Absolutely! First, Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Next, spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl combine potatoes, sour cream, Ranch seasoning, 1 cup cheese, pepper, half of the bacon, + 1/2 cup milk. Mix well. Spread into prepared baking dish. Spread remaining cheese and bacon evenly over hash browns. Bake, uncovered, 45 minutes or until hash browns are tender.

Can I cook my own bacon?

Yes! I used store-bought, pre-cooked Bacon Crumbles for convenience. However, you can cook 5 – 6 slices of bacon if you prefer.

I found with the Ranch seasoning and bacon these potatoes didn’t need additional salt.

Finally, three hours may seem like an excessive time to cook this casserole. It does take that long for the potatoes to cook through.
