Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons Ketchup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a cloth. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Lightly coat the potatoes with vegetable oil and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes bake, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
Carefully remove the baked potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each potato lengthwise and gently scoop out some of the flesh, creating a well in the center. Reserve the scooped-out potato flesh in a bowl.
Mash the reserved potato flesh and stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup sour cream, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fill each potato shell with the mashed potato mixture, then top with the cheeseburger filling.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
