Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large baking potatoes
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup 1% low-fat milk, may not need all of this
1/4 lb turkey bacon, diced and cooked (about 9 slices)
1 1/2 cups low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded and divided (about 6 ounces)
2 tablespoons chives, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash black pepper

Steps:

Bake the potatoes at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until tender. Cool.
Cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell.
In a bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in milk, bacon, 1 cup of cheese, chives, salt, and pepper. I have found that using the full cup of milk makes the mixture too runny. I usually start with a scant 1/2 cup and then add more if necessary.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
