TWICE BAKED SWEET POTATOES

By curly

Ingredients

• 6 medium sweet potatoes
• ¼ cup butter, cubed
• 2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• ½ tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Scrub and pierce sweet potatoes. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 ¼ hours or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells. In a large bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in the cheese, bacon, salt, and pepper. Spoon into potato shells.

Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until heated through.
