Baked Potato Dinner with 4 Toppings

Baked Potato Dinner with 4 Toppings

This is a fun dinner for four with 4 Toppings. 

I like to quarter my baked potato and then add the 4 different toppings separately.  I have a few OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) tendencies and do not like my food to touch (seriously).  (My sectioned plate only has 3 compartments so I couldn't use that plate for this meal......therapy didn't help).

All kidding aside - this meal is also very inexpensive - my local grocery store just had a 10 pound bag of Idaho Potatoes on sale for $1.88!  Also, I bought many of the toppings when there were on sale.

The first thing to do is scrub and bake 4 large potatoes.  While the potatoes are baking prepare the different toppings listed below:

 

Topping #1 - Bacon & butter

I chopped and fried 1/2 pound of smoked bacon.

Butter at room temerature.

 

Topping #2 - Sauteed Mushrooms & Onions

1 small package of mushrooms (washed & chopped or sliced)

1 small onion (peeled and minced)

olive oil

2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

(saute the onion in a little olive oil until transparent and then add the mushrooms and Worcestershire Sauce & cook for another few minutes)

Topping #3 - Sour Cream & Green Onions (or Chives if in season)

Wash & chop the green onions (or Chives)

Scoop as much sour cream as desired

Topping #4 - Broccoli & Nacho Cheese Sauce

2 cans of Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup (regular cheese soup may be substituted)

1/4 head of broccoli (steamed)

(pour the Cheese soup into a medium size saucepan and warm.  Add in the already steamed broccoli and stir - the broccoli should come apart as seen in the picture above)

Serve of the toppings while they are still warm  - each person can build their own baked potato as they desire. 

ENJOY!
