Perfect for busy weeknights, game days, or feeding a hungry crowd!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef 🍖
- 4 to 6 medium Russet potatoes 🥔
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning 🌮
- ½ cup water 💧
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
- ½ cup sour cream 🍶
- ¼ cup chopped green onions 🌿
- ½ cup diced tomatoes 🍅
Instructions:
1. Bake the Potatoes
Scrub and pierce each potato with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 45–50 minutes or until tender when pierced.
2. Brown the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Season It Up
Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
4. Assemble Your Taco Potatoes
Slice open each baked potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork. Pile on the seasoned taco beef.
5. Top & Serve
Sprinkle with shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions, and juicy diced tomatoes.
