Ingredients 12 slices bacon ⅔ cup butter ⅔ cup all-purpose flour 7 cups milk 4 large baked potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 green onions, chopped 1 ¼ cups shredded Cheddar cheese 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
After adding the bacon to a large skillet, fry it over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping it occasionally, until it is evenly browned. After draining, crumble and lay aside the bacon slices on paper towels.
In the interim, melt butter in a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Add flour gradually while whisking until thoroughly mixed. Pour in milk slowly and whisk continuously until thickened and smooth.
Add the sour cream, crumbled bacon, Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for a little while longer, stirring, until the cheese melts.
