Recipe Introduction


From one of the best cooks I've ever met.





List of Ingredients



• 4 large baking potatoes
  
• 2/3 cup butter
  
• 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  
• 6 cups of milk
  
• salt
  
• pepper
  
• 4 chopped green onions
  
• 12 crumbled slices of cooked bacon (I use a pkg of Hormel real bacon bits found in the meat department)
  
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  
• 1 8 oz container of sour cream
  






Instructions



1. Bake the potatoes ( I put them in the microwave). Cool and scoop out the pulp and set aside. Discard the skin.
   
2. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat
   
3. Add flour, stirring until smooth
   
4. Gradually add milk stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until mixture is thick and bubbly.
   
5. Add potatoes, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of green onion, _ cup bacon and 1 cup of cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated
   
6. Add Sour Cream and extra milk if you want it thinner.
   
7. Garnish each bowl with onion, cheese and bacon. (I put all the cheese, onions and bacon in the soup pot and don’t fool with the garnish)
