Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 4 tablespoon milk

- ½ c raw broccoli, chopped into ½" pieces

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F.

- 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.

- Place filled potato halves onto a baking sheet, top with additional cheese if desired.
