Pizza Stuffed Potatoes

I get bored easily.  That might be an understatement.  I get bored often and frequently.   So, in order to keep myself and everyone else in our house on their toes, I try and introduce new meal ideas weekly.

Pizza stuffed potatoes are on the menu tonight.  Baked potatoes, stuffed with all things pizza like, especially cheese.  Potatoes can pretty much be stuffed with anything.  So go ahead, have fun, and get your spud on!
