Twice-Baked Potatoes with Meat and Cheese Filling (Page 2 ) | June 15, 2025

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 60 minutes, or until tender.

2. Prepare the Filling:

While the potatoes bake, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground meat until browned, then remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the onion, carrot, and bell pepper until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and dried herbs, cooking for an additional minute.

Return the meat to the skillet, add the broth, and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed.

3. Assemble Twice-Baked Potatoes:

Once the potatoes are baked, cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato on the skin.

Mash the scooped potato with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the mashed potato with the meat and vegetable mixture. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each potato half.

4. Bake Again:

Return the filled potato halves to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:
These twice-baked potatoes with meat and cheese filling are a satisfying main course or a rich complement to a lighter meal. The combination of tender potato, flavorful meat, and melted cheese creates a dish that is sure to please at family dinners or gatherings. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and savor the comforting flavors!
