"Official Contest Entry: Simply Potatoes 5Fix. This casserole takes the best of a loaded baked potato (think bacon, cheese and a dollop of sour cream) and teams it with a slice of Apple Pie (Don't forget the slice of Cheddar.) A sweet and savory delight that can be used as a main course or a side dish. Bon Apetite!"
