Cheeseburger Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Skip the bun and serve all of your favorite cheeseburger ingredients--beef, cheese, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce--with baked potatoes for a hearty and easy dinner recipe that kids and adults will love. Feel free to swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or tofu crumbles.
Ingredients
-
4 medium russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
-
½ cup low-fat mayonnaise
-
8 ounces cooked ground beef, warmed
-
½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
-
½ cup diced tomato
-
¼ cup sliced red onion
-
4 teaspoons shredded Colby Jack cheese
Description
-
Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave on Medium, turning once or twice, until soft, about 20 minutes. (Alternatively, bake potatoes at 425 degrees F until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.) Transfer to a clean cutting board and let cool slightly.
-
Holding them with a kitchen towel to protect your hands, make a lengthwise cut to open the potato, but don't cut all the way through. Pinch the ends to expose the flesh.
-
Top each potato with some mayonnaise, beef, lettuce, tomato, red onion and cheese. Serve warm.
