Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium Russet potatoes Thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 8 slices Beef bacon Cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese Shredded
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese Shredded
  • 2 cups Milk Whole milk works best for richness
  • 2 large Eggs Lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp Salt Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper Freshly cracked
  • 1 tbsp Butter Softened, for greasing the dish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the softened butter.
  • Peel and thinly slice the Russet potatoes. Arranging them in even layers ensures consistent cooking.
  • Place half of the sliced potatoes into the prepared baking dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded Cheddar cheese, half of the Monterey Jack cheese, and half of the crumbled beef bacon over the first layer of potatoes.
  • Layer the remaining potatoes on top of the cheese and beef bacon mixture.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until fully combined and smooth. Pour this custard mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  • Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. The potatoes should be tender when pierced with a knife.
  • Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes if a browned, bubbly top is desired.
  • Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 15 minutes before serving. This allows the custard to set and makes slicing easier.
