Over-Loaded Baked Potato image

This potato is very filling and delicious. It makes a good meal all alone or as a side. I enjoy it with all the fixings, my hubby doesn't like anything but sour cream on his. You can add any toppings you prefer to this potato too! Enjoy :)

6 large baking potatoes
1 lb lean ground beef
12 slices bacon;cooked
1/2 cup onion; diced
2 tomatoes; diced
1 cup of lettuce; shredded
5 green onions; diced (reserve 1 for topping)
cheddar cheese, shredded (16 0z)
2 tbsp louisiana hot sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and perforate potatoes with fork in several places, slice thin line on top. Place potatoes directly on rack of oven preheated to 400 degrees, cook for 1 hour 30 minutes. After cooling, slice each potato lengthwise into two halves. With a spoon, scoop out almost all of potato into a large mixing bowl, leaving just enough to maintain the rigidness of the skin. Crumble and brown ground beef and bacon and put aside. Dice onion, saute' with butter in small frying pan until browned. With a large fork, hand-mash the potatoes well, mixing in the 1/2 the sour cream, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Stir thoroughly until mixture is creamy but still firm. (If mixture is too dry, add a little milk). Mix in the crumbled ground beef, bacon, onion, and scallions. Add 8 Oz. (half) of the shredded cheese and mix well. Fill the empty potato shells with mixture, place on large baking sheet. Top with remaining shredded cheese. Place in 400 degree oven, bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is thoroughly melted. Top with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, and green onions (or anything you prefer, that is what we like).

I found this recipe to be a bit too rich. I would recommend using less cheese or butter.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to the filling.

I'm not a big fan of sour cream, so I omitted it from this recipe. The filling was still very flavorful and cheesy. I would definitely recommend this recipe, even if you don't like sour cream.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover baked potatoes. I simply mashed the potatoes and then added the other ingredients. It was a quick and easy meal that was also very tasty.
