(Courtesy of Light and Tasty)

Ingredients:
6 large baking potatoes
2 Tbsp. butter or stick margarine, softened
1 c. 1% milk
1/4 lb. turkey bacon (about 9 slices), diced and cooked
1 1/2 c. (6 oz.) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
2 Tbsp. minced chives
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash pepper

Directions:
Bake the potatoes at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until tender.  Cool.  Cut a thin slice off of the top of each potato and discard.  Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell.

In a bowl, mash the pump with butter.  Stir in milk, bacon, 1 c. cheese, chives, salt and pepper.  Spoon into the potato shells.

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 the cheese is melted.
