Grilled flank steak and fab twice baked potatoes (with BACON)

I was thinking comfort food for the USC football game, steak and potatoes right? As always, I threw a few twists in :) The combo of regular baking potato and sweet potato is lucious, and throw bacon in? Oh yeah!!

Flank Steak

1 lb flank steak, trimmed and room temp
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp grill seasoning (I used McCormick Montreal Steak)
1 tsp Worcestershire pepper blend

Mix spices, use half on one side.

Heat grill or grill pan medium high. Place steak seasoned side down, rub remaining spices on exposed side. Grill 4 minutes on each side. Place in hot (425 degree) oven for 8-10 minutes until done.

Polly's Twice baked potatoes
makes 6 servings

2 large russet potatoes
1 large sweet potato
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
1/2 cup crumbled bacon
2 tsp butter
pepper and salt to taste

Wash and pierce potatoes, wrap in foil, bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Cut potatoes in half, scoop out almost all potato with a spoon, leaving a "boat"
Mash potatoes, cheese, bacon and butter in a bowl until smooth, add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon back into potato skins and return to oven (already hot from steak) for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and everything is hot through.
