Make Ahead

Assemble recipe as directed but do not sprinkle with bacon bits and onions; cover with heavy-duty foil. Freeze up to 1 month. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Bake, covered, 1 hour or until heated through, uncovering the last 10 min. Sprinkle with bacon bits and onions.

Variation

Use any savoury flavour of Philadelphia Cream Cheese Spread to season the potatoes. Or, roast fresh garlic and add to the potatoes for creamy garlic mashed potatoes.

Variation

Sprinkle baked casserole with chopped chives and Kraft 100% Light Parmesan Grated Cheese instead of the suggested toppings.
