Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Poke the potatoes all over with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 1 hour. Once cooked, cool for 15 minutes.

In a medium skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet to drain on a paper towel lined plate before crumbling it.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out approximately 70% of each potato. You can reserve this for hash browns or mashed potatoes for another meal.

Turn oven to broil on high. Brush butter on the inside and outside of each potato skin. Place them on the baking sheet. Season the inside of each with salt and pepper.

Place potato skins under the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes, until the insides are a little crispy. Remove from oven and fill with cooked ground beef, bacon pieces and approximately 1 Tbsp of blue cheese per potato skin. Place them back under the broiler for approximately 3 to 4 minutes until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with more blue cheese. Serve immediately.
