All the flavors of a fantastic loaded baked potato stuffed into a heart warming, class comfort food: stuffing. It’s Loaded Baked Potato Stuffing.

The possibilities with stuffing are endless. All the flavors of loaded baked potatoes in a classic stuffing dish. It’s kind of amazing.  I love playing around with stuffing and creating new and tasty versions like my Southwestern Stuffing. I made this one last year for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. You’ll want to use potato bread in this recipe. A loaf of potato bread, or potato rolls will work fine. You should be able to find some kind of potato bread at pretty much any grocery store. You’ll serve this up sprinkled with slices of green onion or chives. You can also serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you are really in the mood. It’s a baked potato….but it’s stuffing! And it’s awesome!

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 pan by spraying it lightly with nonstick spray.
• In a medium saucepan make a roux by melting the butter and then whisking in the flour to form a bubbly mixture. Add in the chili powder, salt, and pepper for flavoring. Pour in the chicken broth and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil. Once boiling the mixture will thicken quickly. Once it thickens remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small bowl whisk together the egg and heavy cream. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl mix together the bread chunks, cheddar cheese, and bacon. Slowly pour the cream mixture over it and stir to moisten everything. Then pour the chicken broth mixture over and stir to combine. Immediately transfer it to the prepared 9x13 pan and spread it out in an even layer.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes, until the top starts to brown. Sprinkle with green onions and serve. You can always add a dollop of sour cream if you are feeling it.
