Cheddar Taco Potato Boats
Cheddar Taco Potato Boats are the perfect irresistible party bites. Make them for you next sports gathering!
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- ½ lb ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter melted
- Salt and pepper to taste
- green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Poke the potatoes with a fork, and place on a baking sheet. Bake until fork tender, about 1 hour. Let the potatoes cool.
- Cut potatoes lengthwise in half and scoop out the flesh, leaving a half inch shell. Brush potatoes inside and out with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown beef and onion, breaking up the meat into small chunks, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain grease if necessary.
- Add garlic, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
- Divide the taco mixture among the potato boats and top with cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350F for 15 minutes until the potatoes are heated through and the cheese is melted. Garnish with green onions and serve.
Notes
*To cook potatoes, prick with a fork and bake in the oven at 375F for 45-60 minutes, or until fork tender. Alternatively, cook in microwave on high power for 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until potatoes are tender.
