Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole

I began this blog post lamenting the term "casserole," but something far more interesting occurred mid-type.

There's a weird, ghoulish, moaning sound outside of my window. So instead of freaking out, I'm attempting to put this in a funny blog post. Because nothing solves problems more than a little 21st century writing medium, am I right? Right?
I'M COMEDY-IFYING MY TERROR, OK?

Ok.

Let's hypothesize at least three options of what the freaky weird creepy howl-y barfy pee-my-pants noise is:
1.) Nothing.
2.) An axe-murderer who's also packing heat and replaced his fingers for butcher knives.
3.) Cher.

Here's to hoping it's option three. Maybe a little comfort food in the form of starch will quiet my fears.

Baked Potato Casserole    Serves: 1 as a main, 2 as a side
1 russet potato, washed and scrubbed clean
1 stalk green onion, sliced
1 T. sour cream
1 T. bacon bits
1/2 cup pinto beans
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.) Poke a few holes in the potato with a fork. Microwave in 1 minute intervals until soft. Scrape the potato flesh into a bowl and mash slightly.
3.) Mix in the sour cream, bacon, beans, green onion, and a dash of salt and pepper. Scoop into a small casserole dish (or oven-safe bowl) and top with the cheese.
4.) Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until filling is heated through and cheese melts.
