how to make easy cheesy yummy twice baked loaded potatoes 9x13 pan size

Preheat oven to 425.

Skin potatoes, cut into chunks, add salt and potatoes to boiling water (like you are making mashed potatoes - I love to use my steamer (rice steamer +++). While you're waiting on potatoes...Microwave the cream cheese until slightly soft.

When you stick a fork in the potatoes, and they are soft (not quite mushy), drain 'em! Return them to the pot.

Add milk, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder,Lawrys™ seasoning, margarine, 2 cups cheese (saving the rest), bacon, green onion (chopped to about pea size) and the cream cheese.

Mash (I use a mixer) until creamy.

Get out a 9x13 baking dish. Grease. Pour the potato mixture in and spread evenly.

Add remaining cheese on top. If it doesn't look like enough, add some more. If you love cheese like I do-you want a nice even layer on the top.

Bake for about 30 - 40 minutes so cheese is beautifully bubbly and golden. Enjoy! sooo good!
