The Princeton Moose recently had a smoked pork chop dinner that went over really well. One of the sides that night was an easy recipe for Cheesy Bacon Potatoes. With those three ingredients together how can you go wrong? Everyone at the dinner that night agreed - there were hardly any left. It was a perfect compliment to smoked pork.

Cheesy Bacon Potatoes
5 lb. potatoes sliced or diced boiled to half done
1 medium onion diced
1 lb. bacon diced
3 lb. Velveeta cheese block cut up
1 cup milk (you can add a little more if it seems to thick)
1 small jar pimentos diced (optional)
salt and pepper

Fry bacon until almost done and add the onion. Cook just until onion is tender. In a large microwave safe bowl combine cheese, bacon, onion, diced pimentos (optional) and milk. Microwave till cheese is melted stirring often. Place potatoes in 9x13 spray coated pan and pour cheese mixture over the potatoes. Bake until it bubbles and is lightly browned at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes.
(Note - This can be made ahead and baked when you need it.)
