      Recently a group of girl friends came over for a card party and we had a bacon theme that night. One of them, my friend Pam, brought a bacon recipe. This was passed on the her from a family friend, but when you're talking bacon, potatoes and cheese, how can you go wrong? 
     This casserole only has a few steps and standard pantry ingredients. With this flavor mixture everyone's sure to be happy.

Ranch Potatoes
8-10 potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/2-inch cubes
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1-1/4 cups milk
salt and pepper
1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 envelope ranch dressing mix

Add potatoes to a large saucepan and water to cover. Bring to boil, cook about 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender, drain. Place potatoes in a greased 13x9x2- inch pan.

In a small bowl mix together soup, milk, salad dressing mix, 1 cup cheese, salt and pepper. Pour over potatoes. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and remaining cheese over the top.

Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
