Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 90-100 minutes
Materials:
- 6-7 Russet potatoes (scrubbed and dried)
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 onion
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- Olive oil (between 4-5 tbsp.) separated
Process:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with some aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Take a fork and carefully pierce the potatoes all over and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the potatoes with some olive oil and using your hands or a brush make sure to cover the entire potato in the oil.
- Bake the potatoes for 55-60 minutes or until fork tender. Keep in mind that times will vary depending on the size of your potatoes.
- Once potatoes are fork tender remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Carefully take each potato (they are still hot so either use tongs or kitchen mitts) and cut in half.
- Scoop the flesh of the potato out leaving about 1/2 inch around the skin. Do not throw the flesh out. Save it for snack or another dish.
- Drizzle lightly with olive oil on both sides and season with salt.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 425 degrees F.
- In the meantime add in a tbsp. of olive oil to a pan along with the chopped onion. Keeping the heat on medium/ high cook the onion until softened.
- Add in the ground beef and cook breaking the meat up. If the beef renders a lot of fat discard the fat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, garlic powder and oregano.
- Add in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes and then set aside.
- Once the skins are out of the oven top with a layer of cheese, ground beef and top off with more cheese.
- Bake until cheese is melted.
- Plate and ENJOY!
