DUTCH OVEN CHEESY BAKED POTATOES

1 pkg. bacon ends and pieces
12 +or- red potatoes cut in about 1/4 inch slices
1 24oz tub of sour cream
1 32oz block of Velveeta cheese slice in 1/4 inch thick slices
1 green pepper chopped (optional)

Cook bacon ends and pieces in dutch oven. Cut out fat from bacon while cooking it. Pour off 1/2 to 2/3 of grease. Add potatoes (onion, pepper, and mushrooms if desired) and cook until potatoes are almost completely cooked. Spread about 16oz of sour cream, or more if you prefer, on top of potatoes. Then lay slices of Velveeta on top of sour cream (about 3/4 of block or more if you prefer). Continue to cook until sour cream and Velveeta are cooked/melted. Serve and Enjoy!
P.S. Matt won his family's dutch oven contest with this recipe last year! :D
