Cheesy Stuffed Potatoes with Savory Beef Filling

Ingredients:

  1. – Three large potatoes (around 900 gm) for the potatoes
  2. 300 gm of cheddar cheese and two teaspoons (20 milliliters) of vegetable oil
  3. – Four gm of salt

To make the beef filling,

  1. combine 500 gm of ground beef,
  2. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (20 ml),
  3. one finely chopped onion,
  4. three finely chopped green peppers,
  5. and three minced garlic cloves.
  6. Two tsp tomato sauce (twenty-five gm)
  7. – 20 gm or 1 teaspoon of tomato paste
  8. – 3–4 chopped parsley sprigs – Paprika, black pepper, cumin, thyme, and salt, to taste

Guidelines:

  •  Set the oven’s temperature to 200°C (392°F).
  • To get rid of any dirt, give the potatoes a good wash and scrub.
  •  To make a sturdy base, trim a tiny slice from the bottom of each potato. Additionally, cut off the top to create a “lid.”
  • Remove the potato flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) border around the potato. Keep the potato flesh that you scooped out for later.
  • Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and a small amount of salt to the potato shells.
  • Transfer the prepared potato shells to a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at a temperature that has been preheated, or until the edges are beginning to crisp up.
  • Prepare the beef filling and bake the potatoes at the same time.
  • Heat two teaspoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, green peppers, and finely diced onion. Cook them until they become tender.
  • When the ground beef is well cooked and browned, add it and continue to cook.
  • Add tomato paste and sauce, stir, and season to taste with salt, black pepper, cumin, thyme, and paprika.
  • Stir in the finely chopped parsley.
  • Take out of the oven the partially cooked potato shells.
  • Tightly pack the prepared meat contents into each potato shell.
  • Add a liberal amount of cheddar cheese on top of each loaded potato.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for a further 10 minutes at 200°C (392°F), or until the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese is bubbling.
  • Serve this cheesy stuffed potato with savory meat stuffing for a meal so good the neighbors will be envious!
