Southwestern Stuffed Potatoes image

Goes great with steaks or herb baked chicken- also a very exquisite vegetarian entree. Always was a big hit around our house- we love cheese- hubby comes from Wisconsin, America's Dairyland, and he's really proud of it (he'll tell you with a grin and a piece of cheese in his mouth!)
