This is a staple in our family! My kids loved it and quickly devoured the leftovers the next morning!

Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes and bacon.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, bacon, and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Cover the tray with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a vegetarian version, simply omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor. If you prefer a spicier dish, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese sauce. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and substitute cornstarch for the flour in the sauce. You can also experiment with different cheeses like Gruyère or Monterey Jack for a unique twist.
