This is a sponsored post in partnership with the Idaho Potato Commission. 

I’m teaming up with Virtual Potluck  and the Idaho Potato Commission to share kid-friendly recipes featuring Idaho® potatoes.

Baked potatoes are one of my very favorite foods and twice baked potatoes are even better.  I do make them pretty often because the whole family loves them and they make any dinner something wonderful.

 I took the twice baked potato to epic proportions with these Bacon Cheese Burger Twice Baked Idaho Potatoes!  The guys were actually still talking about them the next day.  This is definitely a new recipe for the dinner rotation.

We love potatoes and enjoy them just about every day. One of our favorites is a Slow Cooker Cheesy Smoked Sausage & Idaho Potato Soup. It’s perfectly comforting and delicious.

How to Make Bacon Cheese Burger Twice Baked Idaho Potatoes

I baked the Idaho® Potatoes and prepared a twice baked potato filling with butter, sour cream, cheese, garlic, salt and pepper.  I also cooked a bit of ground beef and fried some bacon! You know I’ve got to have bacon.

I filled the baked potato shells and topped them with the ground beef that I tossed with barbecue sauce.  Sprinkled over the bacon, a little more cheese and a few green onions.  I popped them back in the oven for about 25 minutes and wow, they were so good!

I’m thinking next time of topping these with Easy Onion Strings!

It was extremely filling and along with a green salad and some crusty bread, it is a fine meal for busy weeknights.  You can make the ingredients ahead of time and assemble these twice baked potatoes when you are ready to serve them.
