\"\"<\/a>Would you believe me if I told you that I’ve never been to a steak house before?\u00a0 Like an honest-to-goodness steak house?\u00a0 I’ve been to Ruth’s Chris once with Scott like a decade ago but that’s a chain so I don’t really count that as a true steak house.<\/p>\n

I grew up in the sticks so we didn’t have steak houses.\u00a0 Unless you count going over to the Elk’s or Moose on steak night and I’m betting you don’t.\u00a0 Even the bigger towns closest to us (which were all half an hour to 45 minutes away no matter which direction you went) didn’t have steak houses.<\/p>\n

But there are some things I know about steak houses like they are crazy expensive if what people tell me is true.\u00a0 Every time The Double R mentions steak houses on her show she says that for two people it could be like a $200 tab.<\/p>\n

That’s a lot of money to be spending on a slice of cow from a factory farm and a baked potato.<\/p>\n

I’m just saying.<\/p>\n

I also know that when people mention steak houses they also mention creamed spinach as a traditional side along with a baked potato.\u00a0\u00a0 I decided to take the spinach and potato as sides idea and run with it.<\/p>\n

Growing up in my family we never ever had twice baked potatoes.\u00a0 Ever.\u00a0 They were too much work my mom would inform me.\u00a0 Or too hard.\u00a0 Or too something but we never had them.\u00a0 Every time I had them it was out doing something that seemed fancy so that now when I think of twice baked potatoes I think “fancy” and high-end.\u00a0 Whenever we have steaks I will make us some twice baked potatoes.\u00a0 Because we are being fancy so we must have a fancy side dish!<\/p>\n

This is the side dish that I made to go with our bison steaks<\/a> we had for Scott’s birthday meal.\u00a0 Steakhouse style twice baked pototes.\u00a0 Or at least I’m assuming since we’ve already discussed how I’ve never been to a steak house before.<\/p>\n
