I recently made this incredible dish for dinner, and it was an absolute hit! Even my picky middle child said it tasted just like a loaded baked potato. My husband loved it so much that he even packed some for lunch the next day. Unfortunately, when I went to do the same, the dish was completely empty! Needless to say, this recipe is definitely going into my regular meal plans!
