Ingredients

Scale

For the Taco Beef:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water

For the Potatoes:

  • 4 to 6 medium Russet potatoes

For Toppings:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Bake the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each one several times with a fork and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Cook the Taco Beef: While the potatoes are baking, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. Season the Meat: Add the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water to the beef. Stir to combine, then let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the seasoning is fully absorbed.
  4. Assemble the Potatoes: Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each potato open and fluff the inside with a fork to create space for the filling. Spoon the seasoned beef mixture over the potatoes.
  5. Add Toppings and Serve: Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions, and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately while hot for a melty, savory bite.
