Notes

Pre-heat the macaroni and cheese and pulled meats before adding them to the potato. This will reduce cooking time and ensure all the ingredients are warmed through. 
You can follow this recipe without making fully loaded potatoes. Just bake them on the grill and eat them your favorite way. 
The nutrition values will vary depending on how you top the potatoes. The below calculations are based on a fully loaded potato.
