Ingredients

  • 2 tsp (10 mL) butter or margarine
  • 1 cup (250 mL) sliced green onions
  • 1 cup (250 mL) chopped yellow or orange pepper
  • 3 cups (750 mL) hot water
  • 1 cup (250 mL) half-and-half or wole milk
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter or margarine
  • 1 box (family sized) Betty Crocker* Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes (2 pouches)
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 350ºF. Spray 2-quart casserole with nonstick cooking spray. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 2 teaspoons butter over medium-high heat. Cook onions and bell pepper in butter 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; set aside.

    2
    In 2-quart saucepan, heat water, half-and-half and 1/4 cup butter to boiling; remove from heat. Stir in both pouches of potatoes (and seasoning) just until moistened. Let stand about 1 minute or until liquid is absorbed. Beat with fork until smooth.
  •  
    3
    Spoon 1 1/3 cups of the potatoes into casserole; top with half of the onion mixture and 3/4 cup of the cheese. Spoon another 1 1/3 cups potatoes over cheese; carefully spread to cover. Sprinkle evenly with remaining onion mixture. Top with remaining potatoes; carefully spread to cover. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese.

    Bake uncovered about 30 minutes or until hot.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Do-Ahead: Make the potatoes up to 24 hours ahead of time, following directions through step 3, then cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake about 45 minutes or until hot.
  • Tip 2
    Substitution: Half-and-half is what makes these potatoes so rich and creamy. If you don't have it on hand, though, you can use milk for a less creamy version.
