Twice Baked Potato

My husband doesn't like baked potatoes very well, but he loves these.

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 TBSP butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Scrub potatoes, pat dry and wrap in foil.  Bake for an hour or so until soft when squeezed.  While potatoes are cooking, fry your bacon until crispy.  Drain and crumble.  Once potatoes are done, slice in half long ways.  Scoop out most of the inside.  It's okay to leave a little, you just don't want the skins to tear.  Mash and then add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, garlic, pepper and 1 1/2 cups cheese.  When pretty smooth, spoon back into potato skins.  Place in baking dish and pour chicken broth around and under potatoes.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Remove and sprinkle with remaining cheese and bacon pieces.  Bake for another 5 min or until cheese is melted.
