Triple Onion Baked Potatoes

I got this from taste of home-

4 large baking potatoes

1 pound sliced bacon, diced
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp milk
1 cup diced american cheese*
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions, finely sliced

Bake potatoes at 400 for one hour, or until they are done. While they are baking, in a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, place on paper towels. Drain all but 1 tbsp oil from the pan. Saute red and yellow onion until tender. Set aside.

When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/8 inch shell. In a large bowl, beat the pulp, sour cream and milk until creamy. Stir in sauteed onions, american cheese and 1 cup bacon. Spoon back into potato shells.

Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, green onion, and remaining bacon, Bake 5-10 minutes longer until cheese is melted.



*There are a few changes I usually make, I am not a huge fan of american cheese. So I usually use only cheddar, or whatever sounds good, in place of it. When I freeze them, 2 halves in a package, I do not add the cheddar to the tops, or the green onion, Just the rest of the bacon.
And add the other when i cook them.

they are way worth the effort!!!
