Why is there so much stuff??? The crazy packing marathon continues, and the same question keeps coming up…..repeatedly….why is there so much stuff? Therefore it is appropriate to share Stuffed Baked Potatoes with you. Get it? Stuff/Stuffed….I know, I crack myself up sometimes…..

I would have placed these delicious and adorably cute potato packages on a pretty platter…..but they have already been packed!!!

About 4:00 pm I realized that we needed something for dinner. Something that does not contain gluten/soy/corn/etc., so these Stuffed Baked Potatoes are perfect. {We’ll just pretend that Michelle can eat dairy, okay 😉 }

How to make Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Clean and dry potatoes. Poke each potato 3 times with a fork to vent. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt…..

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until potatoes are fork tender. Cut a slit in the top of each potato. Scoop out most of the flesh and place in a large bowl…..

Add butter slices and yogurt to the potatoes. Stir to combine and allow to thoroughly melt, salt and pepper to taste…..

We aren’t making mashed potatoes, we want the potato to be chunky. 🙂 Stir in 1 cup of cheese…..

Place mixture back into the potato shells…..

Top with broccoli and chicken, pressing down if necessary…..

Yes, you may split the sides a bit but it will be fine. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bacon chunks…..

Do not adjust your monitor, that image really is that blurry, LOL Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes…..

Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired and serve.

My son stopped by this afternoon to help us pack, then his girlfriend joined us after work…..and they brought back even more packing paper!! So far we have gone through 50 boxes, 3 rolls of packing tape, and 4 packages of packing paper……and we have only packed my food props!!

We did stop for a delicious dinner, drank some wine so we don’t have to pack it, and joked about how much stuff is still left to pack. All in all, it was an awesome day! 🙂
