This is a combination of recipes that I've tried and they were okay, but I decided to combine and make my own version and this is what I got: super yummy!

Steps

1 hour 30 mins

1

Melt butter in a 4 qt pot on med-high. Add flour and mix until smooth. It might be alittle lumpy but that's ok. Gradually add milk stirring constantly.
2

While milk mixture is cooking, chop your potatoes into really small pieces. Keep an eye on milk mixture and keep stirring so it doesn't stick.
3

When milk mixture has thickened, add potatoes and seasonings; salt, pepper, minced onion and garlic powder.
4

Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Once boiling, turn down heat and simmer 10 minutes. You shouldn't have to stir at all however I like to give it one or two stirs while it simmers just so it won't stick.
5

After 10 minutes, turn it back up to med-high, and return to a slight boil stirring just to keep it from sticking and add remaining ingredients; sour cream, bacon and shredded cheese.
6

Stir until cheese is melted and serve. Enjoy!
