The Stuffed Potato

I love baked potatoes Lots of people do. What's great is that you can also stuff them with almost anything. Broccoli, cheese, butter and sour cream, chili... etc.. The other night I stuffed them with chicken, peas and a cream sauce made with a can pf cream of chicken soup, salsa spur cream and a little salsa.

This however is my all time favorite.

2 large baked potatoes
2 oz sharp cheddar cheese
2 oz each ham and turkey
1/2 cooked broccoli
2 tbs green onion
4 tbs sour cream
3 tbs crumble bacon
4 tbs butter
salt and pepper

Split the potatoes in half. add salt and pepper to taste.

Divide the remaining ingredients between the potatoes the sour cream.

Place them in the microwave for 45 seconds, or long enough to melt the cheese, and to make sure their hot.

Plate the potatoes add the sour cream and enjoy.
