Made this tonight for our Thanksgiving tomorrow and had to taste a little. Even though it is swimming in butter, it is fabulous! Thanks for sharing here!

I made this last night for a few friends. I knew with Paula Deen behind this, it was going to be rich and decadent, and I was right. This casserole reminds me of the loaded baked potato skins you get at TGI Fridays or some such place, without the skins! There were 4 of us total, and we had to practically fight over the last bit in the pan! (Note to self...next time double the recipe!) I was tempted to lighten it up a bit with fat free or low fat sour cream, margarine and cheese, but I wanted to make this exactly as written the first time making this. In the future, I may experiment and try to tweek it a little, but oh heck...as long as one doesn't eat like this every day...why ruin a great thing? Thanks for posting this, I can't believe I'm the first one to review this! Simply outstanding!
