Baked Potato Bar (No Spenduary)

I had all of the kids home over the weekend.  What to feed a houseful of kids that is inexpensive and fills everyone up?  A baked potato bar, of course!

I love baked potato bars.  Not only do you fill up on healthy food, you get a chance to empty out some of the leftovers from the freezer.  You put the potatoes in the oven ahead of time, and then you let them bake while you get the chance to interact with your family.

The list of possibilities is endless.   You are only limited by your own imagination!  The cost of a meal like this is minimal, and everyone gets to eat as much as they want.  Best of all?  Because much of this meal is make ahead or made from leftovers, you won't find yourself spending a lot of time in the kitchen!

So, what kinds of toppings do you use?  These are my favorites:

Steamed Broccoli
Bacon
Shredded Cheese
Chili (leftover)
Chick Pea Stew (leftover)
Sauteed Mushrooms
Sauteed Onions

Our potatoes, onions, mushrooms, and broccoli came as a part of the $25 produce bundle that I get from our local farmer who runs a year round farm store.  While she doesn't grow all of the vegetables, she IS sourcing everything from small family farms within a 100 mile radius of home. 

What are your favorite toppings on a baked potato bar?
