Ingredients
8 large baking potatoes1/2 pound bulk pork sausage1/4 cup butter, softened2 cups shredded cheddar cheese1-1/2 cups diced fully cooked ham6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled1 cup sour cream1/2 cup Italian salad dressingSalt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Scrub and pierce potatoes. Bake at 400° for 40-60 minutes or microwave, uncovered, on high for 12-14 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in. shell. In a large bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in the sausage, cheese, ham, bacon, sour cream, salad dressing, salt and pepper.
Spoon into potato shells. Place on two ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
