Taco Loaded Baked Potatoes
Ingredients 😊🫠🙂
→ Base ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
4-6 medium Russet potatoes
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
½ cup water
→ Delicious toppings
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup green onions, chopped
½ cup fresh tomatoes, diced
Steps

1-Give your potatoes a good wash and scrub, then pierce them all over with a fork to prevent bursting. Pop them in a 400°F oven for 45-50 minutes until they're fork-tender and the skin gives slightly when pressed.

3-Stir in your taco seasoning and water, mixing everything together well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens up and all those amazing flavors meld together.

4-Once your potatoes are done, carefully slice them open lengthwise and fluff up the insides with a fork to create the perfect base for all your delicious toppings.

5-Spoon that flavorful seasoned beef generously over each potato, then top with shredded cheese, dollops of sour cream, chopped green onions, and fresh diced tomatoes. Serve immediately while everything's hot and the cheese is melty!
