4 lg. baking potatoes
2/3 c. butter
2/3 c. all-purpose flour
6 c. milk
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
4 green onions, chopped
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (or 1 jar Hormel real bacon pieces, 2 oz. size)
1 1/4 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (8 oz.) carton sour cream

Bake potatoes in oven or microwave until done. Cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out pulp, discarding skins. Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly over medium heat for 5 minutes or until thickened.

Add potatoes, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons green onions, bacon (reserve some to sprinkle on top of each serving), and 1 cup of the cheese. Add extra milk if necessary for desired thickness. Serve topped with remaining onions, bacon and cheese.
