Pepper Jack Potato Casserole

You GUYS!!  I tried this casserole to get out of my funeral potato rut and Boy OH BOY! It did the trick. Its is a spicy cross between funeral potatoes and scalloped potatoes and I am not mad about it! This one is amazing! My Dear Husband actaully said it is Thanksgiving worthy. Its creamy and with a hint of spice and the crunchy topping is the bomb! Have I mentioned that is super easy too? Everyone had seconds! If you are looking to switch your side dish up here you go! Make this one ASAP!
