Twice Baked Potatoes

I am the Queen of Leftovers. 

I love them.  I love to eat leftovers from restaurants.  I love to reheat meals from early in the week, especially on days I don't feel like cooking.  But most of all I love to take a bunch of random pieces and repurpose them into a new meal.

Amanda stayed in Solon tonight which threw off the meal plan (yep, I have a meal plan!) so I decided to improvise with leftovers and push back our Tuesday meal to Wednesday.

The ingredients: a potato, leftover chicken from a Greek chicken wrap, green onions (duh!), shredded sharp white cheddar cheese that's going to be used in a Super Bowl recipe.


I baked the potato for a hour at 400 degrees.  When it had cooled a bit, I scooped out the middle while leaving the skin.


I mixed the potato with the green onions, chicken and cheese.  I added a tiny bit of margarine, some milk, some Frank's hot sauce & some seasonings like garlic salt, pepper & chili powder.  I then placed the mixture back into the potato and baked for another 15 minutes.


I usually have potatoes lying around and adding the chicken, green onions & cheese helped to stretch a potato into a heartier meal.  I've made twice baked potatoes before but today was the first time that I thought to add Frank's.  Let me tell ya, it was a good addition!
