Shredded Potato Pepper Jack Casserole

If you have ever had Shredded Potato Pepper Jack Casserole but did not know how to make it, here is your opportunity. This is one of the best potato casseroles that you can make. It is very easy to assemble and is packed with so much flavor. Every time I make it, I never have any left overs. I also get asked for the recipe constantly and people can’t believe how easy it is to make.

You basically mix all ingredients in a large bowl and then pour into a deep baking dish and bake. This dish is perfect for pot lucks, holidays, game day, comfort food, dinner, and parties. You can also make it ahead of time (up to 2 days) or freeze it. This is a perfect casserole for busy parents and to bring to a new mom. Feel free to half the recipe for smaller households. You can also add additional seasonings if you want it spicer.
