Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and bake them in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, sautéing them until they soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cooked meat to the pan along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well to combine the flavors.
- Once the baked potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each one in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides, leaving a small border of potato inside the skin to hold its shape.
Assembly
- In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato, the meat mixture, and the cheese. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Refill the potato skins with the hearty meat and cheese mixture. For extra cheesiness, top with additional cheese if desired.
Baking
- Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- If you like, garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
- Enjoy your stuffed potatoes hot!
Notes
Store leftover stuffed potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen before or after baking.
