Bacon & Potato Layer Bake is layers of sliced potato, bacon, tomato, onion and cheese baked with chicken stock. So simple and delicious, comfort food I grew up with!
NB: I have brought my Bacon & Potato Layer Bake recipe up to date with some better photographs as its so popular and deserved better. Enjoy!
Bacon & Potato Layer Bake is another dish that I grew up eating, it’s totally yummy and a great hit with the whole family.
Over the years I’ve tweaked the method as the potatoes always had a habit of not cooking and having to spend longer in the oven.
To get round this problem I now par boil the potato slices at the beginning. Plus the addition of chicken stock helps by providing moisture and steam during the cooking process as well as making the dish even tastier!
We love this bacon bake with just a simple serving of petite pois and a dollop of ketchup, comfort food at its best!

I make this with cheesy mash, layered with bacon, tomatoes and onions, my mum always made it 50years ago.
Camilla
Glad it could form the basis of you childhood dish:-)
Aimee Rose
Made this last night for me and my boyfriend it was delicious and so easy to make and leave in the oven!
Camilla
So glad you both enjoyed it Aimee, it’s definitely comfort food weather:-)
Lisa
This has become a family favourite. We have it with pork chops
Camilla
Awesome Lisa, that’s so lovely to hear:-)
Tracey
My mum used to make this, it is so tasty and comforting. Delighted to find a recipe that follows her method and ingredients
Camilla
So glad to hear that Tracey:-)
John
I made this last night with an extra layer of mushroom and a couple of cloves chopped garlic. Didn`t cover with foil and it came out beautiful and tasty. Partner and fussy daughter loved it. Will definitely make again.
Camilla
Good idea not to cover in foil as the mushrooms would have added more moisture. Glad you all enjoyed it and made the recipe your own:-)
Danielle
I’m not wanting to degrade this at all as It’s such a great basis for an amazing recipe but it does need tweaking! I did find that it’s far too much stock! I only used 100ml and sadly I found that my dish was still swimming. I also personally didn’t feel the need to par boil the potatoes as I used a mandolin so it would have just turned to mush. But it’s got the grounds to be such a lovely dish. Maybe it’s just my preference?! But I shall definitely be using this to tweak to my own taste. Thank you for the recipe! It’s definitely a keeper!
Camilla
Thanks Danielle, as Nigel Slater says “a recipe is just a starting place” so you should always do it to your preference. I do the same with recipes I make.
Karen
Tasty meal,I add 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs to the stock and don’t use all of the stock as it can be gradually added if needed. I serve it with baked beans.this doesn’t freeze well as potatoes go sloppy.
Camilla
Excellent Karen, great to add your own touches:-)
Judy
Made this dish and loved it. I added some garlic, and didn’t cover with foil whilst cooking. The top was lovely and crispy and the liquid was just enough to act a a delicious gravy. I will definitely be making this again.
Camilla
Wonderful Judy, so glad you liked it:-)
Christina Allen
Made this tonight first time,didn’t put stock in but the rest was as recipe says it was really nice but, needed something extra, maybe the stock next time would do it, I give 4/5 but I will try again soon
Camilla
Great Christina, yes you really need the stock for the ultimate flavour.
Helen
Made this for my family as something different to Di with bacon. Used baked beans instead of tomato and added some chopped mushrooms. Absolutely delicious, will become a regular in our house I think
Camilla
Excellent, sounds like a cross between this recipe and my Monday Pie:-)
Rebecca Lees
Hi there, I’m not angry I’m just disappointed. I have spent all day floating to my housemates about this meal. To say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement to be frank. The dish was bland to put it nicely, there was a swamp of stock which the potatoes were swimming in. I had to bin food which saddened me greatly as a student and ordered a takeaway. I would give no stars if that was an option to me WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
Camilla
Hi Rebecca, I too am disappointed. This is my fourth most popular meal on Fab Food 4 All and you are the first person to not like it which tells me the fault is not with my recipe. A recipe is like a choir and unless everyone can sing the the end result will be out of tune, so if your ingredients were not all delicious and tasty in their own right eg a hard tasteless tomatoes, pre-grated mild Cheddar, etc then the end result will not miraculously come together to taste any better. This is a tasty meal if you use tasty ingredients and one I’ve enjoyed since childhood. My only other worry would be that you have lost your sense of taste and perhaps need to get tested, I know my son’s flatmates came a cropper and lost their sense of taste.
Helen
Hi can this be frozen
Camilla
Hi Helen, I’ve never tried so wouldn’t like to say one way or the other. If I were to attempt it I would most likely freeze once cooked and then thaw and reheat in oven covered with foil or individual portions in the microwave.
Beth
Super supper!
I was running out of things in the fridge and pantry, to the point where cheddar cheese was not even an option.
I wouldn’t have done the following had I had the correct ingredients. However it worked and could be seen as a variant to the original recipe;
– added blue cheese instead of cheddar
– added crushed garlic & Maggi’s liquid seasoning instead of chicken stock (yes my cupboards were THAT bare!)
Served to partner who went back for seconds. If I wasn’t on a diet I’d have enjoyed it hugely too with a mixed tomato salad or something.
Fantastic recipe and great way to use up random bits of potato / bacon if you have extra in the fridge.
Will be most certainly making again, thank you chef!
Camilla
Excellent Beth, glad you managed to use up your leftovers and that your partner enjoyed it:-)
Mrs L Whiting
I’ve made this dish several times and my family love it, especially my fussy son who only eats chips, wedges or roasties
Camilla
Excellent, glad to have broadened his palate a little:-)
Rach
Use tinned chopped tomatoes for the juice. Deffo par boil potato slices! I don’t cover mine…. 180° till it’s cooked n a higher heat at the end if you need extra browning (not usually needed) A little garlic gives it it a boost too
Laura logan
Totally yummy! Made this tonight and had with salad as it is a hot day! I didn’t bother par boiling the spuds but I do have a Magimix which sliced them thinly. I also have a large pan which can go from stove top to oven so I just made it in that. I did whack up the heat to 200 for the last 10/15 mind whilst the top browned.
The spuds were perfect. Maybe a metal casserole dish/ pan with large surface area is the answer to the spud cook issue!
Camilla
Excellent Laura, glad you enjoyed the recipe and made your own hack.
Carol
I’ve made this tonight and it still has loads of stock juice left in it. Is it meant to be still halfway up the dish after cooking. I notice yours on the plate with the peas doesn’t have juices around it. Im not complaining it was still scrumptious, I just had it in a bowl instead of on a plate. .
Camilla
Hi Carol, no that doesn’t sound right at all. Perhaps you put too much stock in, didn’t remove the foil for the last 10 minutes or your tomatoes and onions were extra juicy? You should just have a small amount of cooking liquor at the bottom of the dish.
Joan Pritchard
Very nice everyone enjoyed it be making it again .
Camilla
Thank you Joan, glad you enjoyed it:-)
Helen Traynor
Made it last night, delicious, reminded me of my mum’s cooking.x☺
Camilla
Excellent, glad you enjoyed it, my mum used to make this:-)
Lynn Young
For a slightly cheaper version I sometimes use the bacon pieces that alot of supermarkets sell.
Camilla
Great idea!
Sharon Perkins
I made this in smaller portions for me and my husband. We thoroughly enjoyed it and it has become a firm favourite.
Camilla
Excellent Sharon and a great idea! So glad you like it:-)
Meinir
Thank you
geoffrey coates
Hi has anybody tried this in a slow cooker cheers Geoff
Camilla
Hi Geoffrey, I had a message on Pinterest on the pin that someone had made it in their Ninja Foodie, no reason why it wouldn’t work in a slow cooker, you could skip the parboiling step for the potatoes. You just wouldn’t have a crispy topping.
Meinir
Instead of a layer of tomatoes, or even carrots, would a layer of cabbage be an option? We cannot eat cooked cheese here, is there another option to cheese that someone has found I wonder? Thank you
Camilla
Hi Meinir, no I wouldn’t use cabbage, I’d just use double the amount of onion and instead of cheese use a little more butter.
EILEEN Rooney
This is a really delicious casserole but instead of using tomatoes i use par boiled carrots just as yummy.
Camilla
As Nigel Slater says “a recipe is just a staring place” glad you’ve adapted it to your taste:-)
Lesley
I always finish mine off with sausages on the top perfect meal for all the family
Jill Dinning
I made this and it was delicious. Just wondering as it’s a bit of prep when your short of time, so if I made this in advance, how do you store this? How long does it keep?
Camilla
Hi Jill, I have never prepped this in advance but I don’t see why you couldn’t pop it in the fridge overnight once assembled and then put in the oven the following day.
Linda
This is the most delicious meal you will ever make! Thanks so much
Camilla
Aaw, thank you so much Linda:-)
Lesley Garden
This really is comfort in a dish. I’m going to have to add this to my weeks list of new recipes to try.
Camilla
Thank you Lesley, it’s certainly stood the test of time:-)
Lynne Haynes
Looks absolutely yummy. Gonna try this tomorrow! Have you tried freezing it? , as although I could make a smaller amount (there’s just the two of us) I usually make larger batches of things and freeze what is leftover for a another day.
Camilla
Hi Lynne, no I haven’t ever frozen it but if I did have any leftover I think I’d just reheat it the next day.
Hazel Rea
It sounds really gorgeous – and looks really appetizing.
Shaun Heathcote

sandy
perfect for an easy cheap family dinner – and it actually *is* cheap, unlike many recipes which claim to be. “only £5 for a main course” my foot! This is the stuff… and my 4 year old loves to helps with most of it too 🙂
Camilla
Thanks Sandy, yes it is cheap and delicious and a dish I grew up on:-)
Anona
Hi Camilla. Family visit every Saturday and this is sometimes a luncheon dish. I have made it for my sister’s family in Florida and it was a success. I have been making it for 54 years and I thought I had invented it. Lol!!! I too discovered par boiling the potatoes was a good idea. Are you from the north of England by any chance?
Camilla
Hi Anona, no I’m from the South but my mother is Danish LOL.
bexjones76

Camilla
Great Darrell I’m sure you’ll all love it:-)
Tonkatol
This looks really good and, as I cook for a family of six on a tight budget, would make a great alternative meal. However, when served, is the bacon “slimy” as my children would term it and, if so, would it work cooking the bacon for a bit longer in the first place? Love using or adapting your recipes for my family.
Camilla
I’ve never thought of the bacon as slimy no but I think I put fry until just cooked because the bacon continues cooking in the oven so you don’t want to end up with a shoe leathered effect but I’m sure you can gauge it to your taste:-)
kris
looks nice, wonder if this would work with veggie bacon ?
Camilla
Why not try it a let me know?:-)
sophie2002
This looks delicious. I will be making it for sure

Kaci Soderstrom
Sounds really good! You made it sound easy.
Camilla
It is easy:-)
Annaloa Hilmarsdottir
Nice, hearty and nourishing lunch idea.
June Etherington
Now that look good enough to eat.
Maddy
A great flavoured dish
Frankie
Just made this for our meal this evening. Total and unqualified success!! I deviated slightly as I had a sad looking leek in the fridge, so to be ultra thrifty I used that instead of an onion – it worked very well with the bacon 🙂 I made one without cheese for DH, as he doesn’t eat it. It’s definitely going to be a staple recipe in our repertoire!
Thank you for sharing this fab recipe!
Frankie
Camilla
Thank you Frankie, so glad it went down well:-) Good tip about leeks!
Christine Bray
This looks so good it’s on my menu for tomorrow’s evening meal I love thinly sliced foods as I have trouble digesting foods so the bacon and potato combo is great for me and cheese is one of our favourite foods. Yum I’ll be back!!!

Great Christine:-)
Jo Hutchinson
cheese and bacon works so well together, thank you for the recipe.

Emjoy:-)
William Gould
Yummy! Anything with potatoes and bacon is fine by me!
Jane Middleton
Looks lovely, would love to try this
David C
Look so yummy but why you not include CHEESE on the title of the recipe to make it exact what it is?
Camilla
Well where do you stop, there’s tomatoes, onion – you can’t list every ingredient in a title of it becomes a shopping list. For anyone searching on the internet though cheese is one of the search tags so people would find it rest assured;-) And my have they found it, it’s my most popular blog post so I must be doing something right:-)
Natalie White
This looks absolutely delicious! Definitely something that my partner would really enjoy 🙂
Camilla
Thanks – enjoy:-)

Looks lovely Camilla – nice comfort food that warms you up and fills you up. Perfect for this time of year. I love potatoes done the ‘scollop’ way as we call the up north!

Thanks Danielle, it really is hearty, filling food.

Potatoes, bacon and cheese – what could possibly be better? I love the technique of par-boiling before baking. It’s so true that the potatoes take longer than everything else and without the par boil, the cheese tends to really break down by the time the potatoes are cooked through… Love this, Camilla!

Thanks Mark, you say the nicest things:-)
