BACON CHEDDAR RANCH STUFFED BAKED POTATOES



Bacon Cheddar Ranch Stuffed Baked Potatoes image

I've never had any other twice baked potato as good as these! To save time, I will "bake" my potatoes in the microwave for 20 minutes on high. Feel free to add anything you want to give them your own signature style. I use Sargento's Shredded Chipotle Cheddar when I can find it in the store. Broccoli or bleu cheese might be worth adding too!

Tips:

  • Use day-old bread for the stuffing. This will help the stuffing hold its shape and prevent it from becoming too soggy.
  • Cut the bread into small cubes. This will help the stuffing cook evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the stuffing. This will help them soften and release their flavors.
  • Use a combination of fresh and dried herbs for the stuffing. This will give the stuffing a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey. The stuffing should be loosely packed so that it has room to expand while cooking.
  • Bake the turkey at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes. This will help to brown the skin and seal in the juices.
  • Reduce the temperature and continue to cook the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potato Stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and crispy bacon, this stuffing is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy stuffing recipe, give this one a try!
