BBQ Mac N' Cheese Potato Skins Recipe

Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Potatoes
  • 1 lb. Macaroni
  • 1/4 Cup Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Flour
  • 3-1/2 Cups Milk
  • 6 Bacon Strips
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese Softened
  • 16 oz. Velveeta Cubed
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese Shredded
  • BBQ Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about an hour until potatoes become soft.
  • Cook Macaroni according to instructions on the box.
  • In a large sauce pane melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add Milk and bring to a boil. Add Cream Cheese and Velveeta Cheese, stir until melted and completely smooth. Turn off heat and stir in 2 cups of Sharp Cheddar until completely melted in. Add cooked Macaroni noodles and coat completely with cheese.
  • Remove Potatoes from oven allow to cool to the touch, halve Potatoes length wise and scoop out centers (for this I use an ice cream scooper).
  • In pan heat roughly 2 inches of vegetable oil ( I have a single basket fryer that I bring up to 350 degrees). Fry Potato shells for a couple of minutes until nice and golden brown. Remove from Oil and place on paper towel to absorb any access oil.
  • Fry Bacon, and crumble.
  • Fill each Potato Skin with Mac N' Cheese and top with Bacon crumbles and your favorite BBQ Sauce.
