Loaded Baked Potato Dipspread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
• Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
• Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
• When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
• Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
• Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and spray a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.
• Put the potatoes into the prepared casserole dish. Toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the potatoes are soft and begin to brown, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup Cheddar in a bowl until well combined. Dollop over the potatoes, then sprinkle with the remaining cup Cheddar and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are completely cooked through when poked with a knife, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Dollop the sour cream evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with the scallions and bacon pieces.

Steps:

• Spray 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Add bacon; cook 7 to 9 minutes or until crispy. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of drippings.
• Add water, milk and butter to drippings in skillet; heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low. Stir in potatoes; remove from heat.
• Stir in cream cheese until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, the sour cream and pepper until cheese is melted.
• Garnish with remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese, the green onions, parsley and cooked bacon. Serve with potato chips.

Steps:

• Mix all of the above items together and serve with crackers or whatever you want.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, cheese, scallions, and bacon. Stir in milk; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with more cheese, scallions, and bacon. Serve with potato chips.

Steps:
