WANT ANOTHER MEATY DINNER IDEA? MY MAMA’S MEATLOAF RECIPE IS MY FAV!
These are cute as appetizers, but the reality is I never make appetizers. I just don’t. I feel like I spend half my life cooking meals for kids who inhale the food in four seconds anyway, so the thought of making appetizers just doesn’t come up. These do, however, make a fun dinner! There’s enough bacon that it satifies my husband’s incessant need for meat in a meal, so I win.
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon
- 6 russet potatoes
- Sour Cream
- Shredded Cheese
- Real Bacon Bits
- Chives
Instructions
- Cut your bacon strips in half.
- Flip a muffin pan upside down, and spray eight of the cups with non-stick spray.
- Drape three pieces of bacon over the top of a cup, then use a piece to wrap around the outside.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, then Broil on HI for 5 minutes to get the cups crispy.
- Bake your potatoes as you normally do (we stab ours a few times with a form, then rub them in butter with some salt and pepper and wrap them in tin foil and bake at 400 for 45 minutes) and then smash them with a fork. You can add butter and milk to make them creamier, but it's unnecessary.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the potato and place it in your bacon cups.
- Top with the cheese, sour cream, chives, and real bacon bits.
- Serve hot!
