Transfer the baked potato rounds to an oven-safe dish or cast iron skillet. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.

Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

4. Garnish and Serve

Top with sour cream and sliced green onions. Add any other desired toppings. Serve immediately while hot!
