  • Makes
    4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • Olive oil, optional
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 envelope reduced-sodium taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • Dash salt
  • Dash pepper
  • Toppings: Salsa, sour cream, Cotija cheese, cubed avocado and chopped green onions

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub potatoes; pierce each several times with a fork. If desired, rub with oil. Bake until tender, 50-75 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    I'm not much of a baked potato fan, but my wife is. Neither of us cared for this recipe.
