Ingredients

• 2 large baking potatoes
• 4 tablespoon milk
• 3 strips bacon, fried and broken into small bits
• ½ c raw broccoli, chopped into ½" pieces
• ½ c shredded cheddar cheese (or more if you like)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450F.
• Wash potatoes and prick with a fork. Place in preheated oven, on the oven racks.
• Bake potatoes for 30 - 45 minutes, until a fork will insert smoothy into the potato flesh.
• Remove potatoes from oven and let set on a wire rack until they are cool enough to handle.
• Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inner potato, being careful to leave the skins in tact.
• Place all the potato insides in a bowl. Add milk, bacon pieces, chopped broccoli, and cheese. Mix until combined.
• Carefully, spoon the mixture back into the potato skins.
• Place filled potato halves onto a baking sheet, top with additional cheese if desired.
• Return to oven and bake 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and potatoes are golden.
