Ingredients
-
4 large russet potatoes
-
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
-
1 cup ground beef
-
1 tsp mustard
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
½ cup chopped pickles
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
Sour cream, for serving
Instructions
-
Bake the potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce potatoes with a fork, place on a baking sheet, and bake 45 minutes until tender.
-
Prep skins: Let potatoes cool slightly. Slice lengthwise and scoop out flesh, leaving a ¼″ border. Reserve flesh.
-
Cook beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef. Drain fat. Stir in mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper.
-
Mix filling: Transfer beef to a bowl. Stir in crumbled bacon, reserved potato flesh, and pickles.
-
Stuff skins: Arrange skins on a baking sheet, skin‑side down. Fill each with beef‑bacon mixture.
-
Add cheese & bake: Top with cheddar. Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Remove from oven, let rest 2 minutes, and top with a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
-
For extra crispiness, brush skins with olive oil and bake 5 minutes before stuffing.
-
Make‑ahead: assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours; bake just before serving.
-
Spice it up with diced jalapeños or hot sauce in the filling.
