Broccoli and Bacon Loaded Baked Potatoes
This recipe featuring really great sharp cheddar is one I love because it really is as simple as can be. You don’t even need a stove to make it! Though if you want to adapt it to be made in a range, that will work just as well. I keep it simple though and just microwave the potatoes.
Broccoli and Bacon Loaded Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes
- 1 ½ cup finely chopped broccoli
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, preferably white
- 1 ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar (5 ounces), divided
Instruction
Cut top ¼ of potatoes off. Scoop most of the soft white potato flesh into a large bowl (including that from the tops.)Add sour cream, salt and pepper and mash with a potato masher until creamy. Add ¾ cup shredded cheddar and mash until the cheese is melted into the potato. Stir in the reserved broccoli, scallions and bacon. Divide the broccoli mixture among the four hollowed-out potato shells. Divide the remaining ½ cup cheddar over the four potatoes.
Place potatoes in a small microwave-safe baking dish and microwave until the cheese is melted on top 45 seconds to 2 minutes.
