Description

Melty, savory Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Potato Skins loaded with seasoned ground beef, smoky bacon, tangy pickles, and gooey cheddar cheese—perfect for game day or casual entertaining!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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.
