Not really a pie, more a cheese, potato, and bacon mess with a crispy topping! Very fattening. I like to serve this with fresh bread smothered in lots of butter and canned chopped tomatoes.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut Red Leicester cheese into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.
Step 3
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until completely cooked but not too crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
Step 5
Drain potatoes and then mash them roughly; you want a few lumps left in this. Add Red Leicester, chopped bacon, and lots of black pepper; stir to combine. Transfer to a large, deep, oven-proof dish and sprinkle grated Cheddar over top.
