These baked potato skins are great as an appetizer or side dish for any event because they are full of cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Ingredients: 6 large russet potatoes. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled. 1/4 cup chopped green onions. 1/4 cup sour cream.

Instructions: Get the oven ready by heating it up to 400F 200C. Clean the potatoes and pat them dry. Each potato should be rubbed with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to make holes in the potatoes. Put on a baking sheet and bake until soft, 45 to 60 minutes. Take the potatoes out of the oven and let them cool down a bit. Cut each potato in half down the middle. Take out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato skin on the potato. Raise the temperature of the oven to 450F 230C. Back the potato skins up on the baking sheet. On top of the potato skins, spread out the cheese and bacon. It should be baked for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles. Add chopped green onions and sour cream on top after taking it out of the oven. Enjoy while hot!

Between two slices of buttery toasted bread, this grilled cheese sandwich has the best of both worlds: rich cheddar cheese and crispy bacon.

Ingredients: 4 slices of thick-cut bread. 8 slices of cheddar cheese. 4 slices of cooked bacon. 2 tablespoons of butter.

Instructions: Set a pan or griddle over medium heat. Each piece of bread should have one side brushed with butter. Butter one side of two slices of bread and put two slices of cheddar cheese on each side. Add two slices of bacon to the top of each cheese layer. Place the rest of the bread slices on top, buttered side facing outward. Cook the sandwiches for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown on both sides. Take it off the heat when the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Make diagonal cuts in the sandwiches and serve them hot.

These loaded turkey burgers are a healthier alternative to traditional beef burgers but packed with flavor. They're loaded with cheese, bacon, and fresh veggies for a satisfying and tasty meal.

Ingredients: 1 lb ground turkey. 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese. 1/4 cup diced red onion. 1/4 cup diced bell pepper. 1/4 cup diced cooked bacon. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. 1 egg. 1 tsp garlic powder. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/4 tsp black pepper. 4 whole wheat burger buns. Lettuce leaves. Tomato slices. Mayonnaise. Ketchup. Mustard.

Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, diced cooked bacon, chopped fresh parsley, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Place the turkey burger patties on the grill or pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have grill marks. While the burgers are cooking, toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly browned. Once the turkey burgers are done, assemble the loaded turkey burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Place a turkey burger patty on top of the lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato and a dollop of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Top each burger with the other half of the bun and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious loaded turkey burgers!
