Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    Baked Potato (baked potatoes), 4 potato (2-1/3" x 4-3/4")
    *Flour, white, .66 cup
    Chicken Broth, 4 cup (8 fl oz)
    Milk, 1%, 2 cup
    Cracker Barrel Medium Lite Cheese, 120 gram(s) - divided
    Salt, 1 tsp
    Pepper, black, .5 tsp
    Sour Cream, reduced fat, 1 cup
    Onions, raw, .5 cup, chopped
    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp (or bacon fat - same amount)
    Bacon, 6 medium slices, cooked & crumbled
    Fresh Chives, 2 tbsp chopped

Directions

Poke potatoes all over with a fork and cook in the microwave until completely tender (time depends on microwave). Set aside to cool somewhat and scoop all of the flesh out and coursely mash or roughly chop/mash without peeling - I prefer not to peel)

In a large pot, cook onions until translucent. Stir in flour and cook for a minute (will be very pasty). Slowly whisk in stock, stirring well as you add to remove lumps. Whisk in milk, salt & pepper, and cook, stirring until thick and bubbly (5-10 minutes depending on your pot and burner).

Add potatoes and 3/4 cup cheese, stirring until cheese melts. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Return to medium-low just to heat - do not bring to boil.

Serve 1 1/2 cups into individual bowls, garnish with remaining cheese, crumbled bacon, chives and black pepper.

Serves 8 generously.
