Well worth the effort. I often make a double or triple batch and freeze the leftovers. Even better the second time

Fry bacon, and place on paper towel. After it cools, crumble into tiny pieces
Puree half the potato mixture in food processor or blender. Return to pot, add remaining ingredients, and heat through until cheese melts
