My family LOVES Twice Baked potatoes. But they are sooo much work. I usually only make them once a year for Christmas or another holiday. This recipe is actually an adaption of two different recipes I had found. When I made it for the first time, my entire clan rated it either as good or better than my Twice Baked potatoes. The best part is.....it is sooooooo much easier!! In fact, you can make it even easier by using real bacon bits instead of frying your own bacon.
