Betty Crocker Loaded Smashed Potatoes






Mmmm...can you smell the melted cheese and bacon? This Betty Crocker Loaded Smashed potatoes package is $3.98 at Walmart. With a side, it fed our family of three. It takes ten minutes in the microwave and it tastes just like you made it homemade. And the best part.... you didn't heat up the house cooking it! They also have an augratin potatoes package that I haven't tried yet that's probably the same price.
