Steps:
- Bake potatoes at 400º for 1 hour 15 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooling (about 15 minutes), cook ground beef until lightly browned.
- Drain beef and return to pan; add taco seasoning and water.
- Simmer for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Remove a small slice from top of potatoes, removing potato pulp and making sure to leave at least a 1/4-inch shell all the way around.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the following ingredients: 3/4 cup of cheese, sour cream, margarine, salt and pepper; mix well.
- Divide pulp evenly between potato shells.
- After putting pulp mixture back into shell, make a "nest" to add ground beef mixture evenly between the two.
- Return to oven to bake for another 25 minutes and then divide remaining cheese (at this point, add more cheese if desired) over each potato.
- Bake for another 10 minutes.
Tips:
- For perfectly crispy potato skins, scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Then, pierce them with a fork several times before baking. This will help the potatoes crisp up as they bake.
- To save time, use pre-cooked bacon. Simply crumble the bacon and add it to the potato mixture.
- If you don't have taco seasoning on hand, you can make your own. Simply combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- To make the potatoes even more flavorful, top them with your favorite taco toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cheese.
- These potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave. This makes them a great option for busy weeknights.
