Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the russet potatoes, then pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and place them directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to thicken.
Once the potatoes have finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Make a slit in the top of each potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture generously over each baked potato.
Optional: Top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions for added flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your Sloppy Joe Baked Potatoes!
