Twice-Baked Potato Casserole

I always think of twice-baked potatoes as little boats of awesome flavor. They are creamy, full of texture and super fancy.  Sometimes I don’t want to be so fancy. I want all the flavor without all of the effort. In times like those, I make this recipe. It’s much easier than regular twice-baked potatoes. If you want to make a lighter, but still tasty, version of this recipe you can swap out a few ingredients. One serving of plain Greek yogurt is a perfect substitute for sour cream and the Neufchatel 1/3 less fat cream cheese is just as good as full fat cream cheese.

Did you know 16 percent of the farms in Arkansas account for 92 percent of our state’s production?
