Cheeseburger meets baked potato in this easy stuffed potato recipe! Cheeseburger baked potatoes may just be your new favorite fun supper.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 baking potatoes (Idaho or russet)
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup cream or half and half
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 23 leaves of lettuce, torn into pieces
  • 1 shallot, peeled and cut into thin slices
  • Dill pickled relish

Instructions

  1. Scrub potatoes and pierce several times with a fork. Microwave until tender, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes are baking, brown ground beef in a skillet until cooked through. Drain and set aside.
  3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, cut an oval in the top of each one and scoop out the insides, leaving the skins intact. Mash the potato with butter, and then stir in cream. Mix in half the ground beef and half the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Stuff the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins. If you want the remaining cheese melted, sprinkle it over the top of the potatoes and microwave for about a minute…otherwise proceed to the next step!
  5. Garnish the potatoes tucking lettuce pieces into each one, then topping with remaining ground beef and cheese, tomatoes, shallot and relish…or anything else you like on your potatoes! Serve at once.
