Amazing Twice Baked Potatoes image

Truly amazing these twice baked potatoes are savory and oh so creamy. Bell peppers add pops of sweetness to the potatoes. Ham and bacon give them the smoky flavor you expect in a twice baked potato. There is melty cheese in every bite. Super yummy, we highly recommend giving this side dish a try.

6 baking potatoes
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper

5 Tbsp margarine
5 Tbsp olive oil, light
1 lb cheddar cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp garlic pepper
1 1/2 c sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash potatoes and poke holes with a fork. Bake for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
