Delicious Cheesy Beef Stuffed Potatoes

These cheesy beef stuffed potatoes feature fluffy baked potatoes filled with a flavorful blend of ground beef, cheese, and seasonings. The recipe takes about 1 hour to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder optional
1 tablespoon olive oil
Chopped green onions for garnish optional

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes, poke holes in them with a fork, then rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 45-50 minutes until tender.
Cook the Beef Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat.
Mix Filling Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, and chili powder if using. Cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.

Stuff the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully slice them in half and scoop out a portion of the flesh to create space for the filling. Mix the scooped potato with the beef mixture and then refill the potato skins with it.
Final Touch: Top each stuffed potato with additional cheese if desired and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy your cheesy beef stuffed potatoes hot.
