• Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just starting to brown. Remove from oven and divide shredded cheese evenly among cups and top each with crumbled bacon. Return to oven and bake another 5-10 minutes or until "baskets" are golden brown and cheese and bacon is hot, melted and bubbly.
