Ingredients

1. 4 large baked potatoes, cooled
2. 2/3 c. butter
3. 2/3 c. flour
4. 6 cups milk, 1% or 2%
5. 1 tsp. pepper
6. 1/2 medium onion, chopped
7. 6 slices bacon, well cooked and crumbled
8. 2 cups shredded cheddar or a cheese blend. (I use 3 cheese blend from Sam's Club)
9. 1 cup (8 oz.) plain yogurt

Instructions

1. Cut each baked potato in half. Scoop out the pulp and put in a small bowl. Discard the skins.
2. Make a rue by melting the butter in a large kettle and slowly adding the flour. Gradually stir in the milk. Continue to stir the mixture until it is thickened and smooth.
3. Stir the potato pulp, pepper, chopped onion, bacon, and cheese into the kettle. Cook until heated thoroughly. Add the plain yogurt and serve.
