Ingredients
Scale
Potato Base
- 1 large baking potato (one per person, cooked)
Fillings
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons sausage crumbles
- 1 egg scrambled
- 4 tablespoons Southeastern Mills Peppered Gravy Mix, prepared
- 3 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 strips bacon, crumbled
Garnish
- Chopped chives for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the assembled potato.
- Prepare Potato: Split open the cooked baked potato carefully to create a cavity for the fillings.
- Layer Ingredients: Inside each cavity, place one pat of butter, then 2 tablespoons of sausage crumbles, followed by 2 tablespoons of prepared peppered gravy. Next, add the scrambled egg, then another 2 tablespoons of peppered gravy, 3 tablespoons of shredded Cheddar cheese, and finally crumble 2 strips of cooked bacon on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake: Place the stuffed potato on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, just long enough to heat through the ingredients and melt the cheese.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped chives. Serve hot with extra prepared peppered gravy on the side if desired.
Notes
- Large potatoes are used here but ingredient amounts can be scaled down for smaller potatoes.
- One large potato can be halved and shared between two people if preferred.
- Ensure the potato is fully cooked before assembling the ingredients.
- For extra flavor, you can crisp the bacon before crumbling it.
- Use freshly chopped chives for the best garnish aroma and color contrast.
