Twice Baked Potatoes

This is one of the not-exact-measurement recipes. :) But it's really easy so anyone can figure it out pretty fast. If I can do it, you can do it. ;)

Ingredients
Red potatoes (creamier taste) or Regular potatoes (starchier taste)
Sour cream and/or cream cheese
Cheddar cheese
Bacon
Seasonings: oregano, garlic salt, pepper, etc.

Directions
-Bake potatoes in oven at approx. 400 degrees for 45 mins-1 hour (like regular baked potatoes).  *Tip for a delicious skin:  After poking potato w/ fork, rub each potato with vegetable oil and wrap in tin foil.
-Cook bacon in frying pan, cut into tiny pieces and set aside.
-Take potatoes out of oven and cut in halves. Spoon out the insides leaving the skins as a shell. Set aside shells.
-Combine potato insides with sour cream, butter, and/or cream cheese (whatever amount that you prefer). Mix as if making mashed potatoes. (Can add a little milk to make it creamier if desired.)
-Add graded cheese and bacon bits. Mix altogether.
-Spoon in some of the bacon grease (optional, but adds a lot of the flavor).
-Add mixture back into the skins.
-Spray and place in a Pyrex pan.
-Put back in the oven for about 30 mins or until golden brown on top.

Ta da! Done. Enjoy with your favorite vegetable side dish!

White Chili

Given to us from Amy Smith and Maria Baron. Thank you for another great recipe that must be shared with the Dopp and Fullmer families! ;) I personally like this better than regular chili.

3-4 boiled chicken breasts (in chicken broth or water), cook thoroughly
3 (15-15.5 oz) cans great northern or white kidney (cannellini) beans, rinsed & drained
1 c chopped onion
1 1/2 c chopped red, green, or yellow sweet peppers
2 fresh jalapeƱo chili peppers, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
3 1/2 c chicken broth/cream of chicken soup/ sour cream
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Tortilla chips/strips

Combine in crockpot, cover and cook on low-heat for 8-10 hours or high heat for 4-5 hours.

Top with cheese, sour cream, and/or tortilla strips!

NOTE: Kory and I like it spicy, but even with all the called for ingredients, we don't find it too spicy. If you do not like spice, use a smaller amount of jalapeƱos.
NOTE: For creamier soup, use more cream of chicken soup over chicken broth.
