Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 2 cups small broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper

Bake potatoes in preheated 400°F oven 55 minutes or until tender; cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon with slotted spoon; set aside.

Place shells in 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Spoon vegetable mixture into potato shells, mounding over shells; top with remaining cheese. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with salsa or sour cream, if desired.
