Ingredients
Potato Skins
– 4 medium russet potatoes
– 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
– Salt and pepper, to taste
### Cheeseburger Filling
– 1 lb ground beef
– ½ small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
– ½ tsp salt
– ½ tsp black pepper
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
– 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
Toppings
– Sour cream
– Chopped pickles or relish
– Green onions
– Optional: ketchup or mustard drizzle
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake potatoes for 45–60 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool slightly.
2. Cut each potato in half. Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a ¼-inch border. Brush skins with oil or butter, season, and bake cut-side down for 10–15 minutes until crisp.
3. Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned.
4. Stir in crumbled bacon and ½ cup cheese.
5. Fill each potato skin with beef mixture. Top with remaining cheese and return to oven for 5–7 minutes.
6. Top with sour cream, pickles, green onions, or other favorite toppings. Serve warm!
Notes
– Save scooped potato flesh for mashed potatoes or potato soup.
– Freeze unbaked filled skins for easy reheating later.
