Bacon-Mushroom Twice-Baked Potatoes

Prepare Baked Potatoes; cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook 5 to 6 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and browned, stirring occasionally.

Cut a lengthwise slice from top of baked potatoes; discard skin from slices and place pulp in a bowl. Scoop pulp from potatoes, leaving 1/2-inch shells and adding pulp to bowl. Mash pulp. Stir in sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth. (If needed, stir in 1 to 2 Tbsp. milk to reach desired consistency.) Stir in mushroom mixture, 1/2 cup of the cheese, the bacon, and, if desired, chives. Stuff potato shells with mashed potato mixture. Place in a 2-qt baking dish.

Bake in the 425°F oven 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake 2 to 3 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
