It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
4 large baking potatoes
8 slices bacon
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided use
8 green onions, sliced, divided use
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Scrub the potatoes. Place on a baking sheet and bake the potatoes for 1 hour at 350 degrees F.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon to paper toweling to drain. When cool, crumble and set aside.
When the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes or until they are cool enough to handle.
Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the flesh and place it in a bowl. Be careful not to tear the skins. Set the skins aside.
Add the sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, half the cheese and half the green onions to the potato flesh. Mix until creamy and blended. You can use a hand mixer for this step if you wish.
Carefully scoop the potato mixture into the reserved potato skins. Top with the remaining cheese and green onions and sprinkle with the reserved bacon.
Place the filled potato skins on the baking sheet. Return them to the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Serve hot.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Delish. I think putting bacon fat or butter will add to the wonderful flavor.

I use some cayenne and a mexican blend cheese. Delish!

One slight variation to this, especially since you're going to have the bacon grease available, is after removing the bulk from the skins brush the inside and exterior of the skins with the grease and baking approx. 20 minutes at 350 to help firm/crispen them. Another thing I've tried is to use Garlic Ranch dressing instead of sour cream.

This recipe is the best! So easy, and so very tasty. Wow! Don't leave out the green onions, that's where the flavor snaps. I also basted the potatoes with butter to give them a beautiful shine! This in itself makes a meal!
