To make double stuffed taco potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup sour cream, plus extra for serving
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Scrub potatoes and prick several times with a fork. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, until soft.
- Meanwhile, cook ground beef and onion in a nonstick pan until beef is cooked through. Break it into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Once potatoes are baked, let cool 10-15 minutes and then remove a sliver of skin from the top of each potato. Scoop potato pulp out and place in a large bowl. Add sour cream and milk and mash until smooth. Stir in about 3/4 of taco mixture. If you feel like there will be too much meat mixed in if you add the remaining 1/4, save it to make a quick quesadilla or tortilla pizza for lunch. Or go ahead and mix it in. Fold in 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Taste for seasoning. Taco seasoning tends to be salty so you may not need to add much, if any salt.
- Stuff the potato mixture back into the skins. Place in a baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes.
- To serve top with green onions, salsa, and sour cream.
