  • ¼ cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon dried chives

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  3. Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until fully cooked, about 1 hour. Cool for about 15 minutes.

  4. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble and set aside.

  5. Cut a thin slice from one side of each baked potato; carefully scoop out flesh and transfer to a large bowl. Discard skins.

Recipe Tip

This recipe can be made a day ahead of time. Prepare through Step 7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate. To reheat, bake casserole, still covered with foil, in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for about 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes more.
