This made a full (and big) meal for me tonight and, boy, was it good. I used low fat turkey bacon cooked in the microwave, fat free cheese and fat free sour cream. I must confess to being lazy and just cutting the potato open and and packing all the goodies in onto it. It worked for me and was yummy. I layered first the onions, broccoli, cheese, sour cream and the bacon on top. Worked perfectly for me :D.
