Obviously, this works with anything as fillings (mushroom, ham, scallions, onion, sausage, etc.).  If anyone else makes these, I'd love to see your iterations.

We make twice baked potatoes all the time. 

We just usually use broccoli & cheese.

I'm definitely going to try it your way next time.

Thanks for sharing!
