Description
A simple recipe for baked potatoes filled with seasoned ground beef and taco toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Scrub the potatoes clean and prick them several times with a fork.
- Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender when squeezed.
- While the potatoes bake, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water according to the package directions. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven. Slice each potato lengthwise, opening it up without cutting all the way through. Fluff the inside with a fork.
- Spoon the taco meat mixture evenly into the opened potatoes.
- Top each stuffed potato with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and chopped green onion.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can microwave the potatoes for a faster prep time, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Use your favorite taco toppings, such as shredded lettuce or black olives.
