If bacon, cheese, and potatoes sound like comfort food to you, this super easy casserole will leave your family screaming for more.

Homemade Alfredo Sauce

The sauce is similar to an alfredo sauce, with lots of bacon :-). It is a crazy easy side dish recipe that is perfect for entertaining. You can make a delicious gluten free alfredo sauce with this recipe and top your favorite veggies!

(And…if Alfredo Sauce is your favorite, try this Zucchini Ribbon Lasagna Alfredo, or this Alaskan Cod Fettucine Alfredo!)

My daughter had planned to write-up her favorite pasta dish for my blog a few months ago. It all started with an idea she had a couple of months ago. We carefully made, and tested, and re-tested the recipe several times to make sure it was the creamiest, most delicious it could be.

Then, life happens and she wasn’t able to complete this due to an injury. Once school started, she had too much school work to do to catch up. We have been sitting on this recipe because she really wants to be the one to write the post.

“I felt guilty holding this recipe from you, because I really believe it is going to rock your world.

Why wait? I was going to make this recipe for dinner and discovered I didn’t have a bag of gluten free pasta. (I don’t think we will ever get sick of this sauce…it is that good!)

I did have a lot of potatoes, and hence this recipe was adapted into a cheesy bacon lovers’ side dish.

    Hello Sandi,
    This looks wonderful and I’m going to make it to feed 18 people at a family reunion this weekend. I will need to use turkey bacon though, so I hope that will work. Anyway, I see little green leaves on your photographs of the casserole. They don’t look like green onions. Can you tell me what they are? Thank you!

      Hi Cathy, you can easily leave the bacon out of this recipe. If you aren’t vegetarian, consider smoked turkey instead of the bacon 🙂 Thank you so much for writing in your question. Have a great day.
