Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (200 g)
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large russet potatoes
⅓ cup hot milk (80 ml)
2 tablespoons butter, softened (30 ml)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100 g)
2 tablespoon Bacon bits (30 g)
Instructions
First, preheat oven to 400 degrees. While heating up the oven, wash and scrub potatoes to clean. Bake potatoes at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until well cooked. While cooling the potatoes, heat olive oil in skillet and Sauté garlic. Add ground beef and continue to fry over medium heat until browned. Remove and drain fat, add salt and pepper to taste.
When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice thinly the top of each potato, scrape out the pulp, leaving a ¼" shell. Set aside the scraped potato pulp in a mixing bowl then place potato shells on a baking pan.
In the mixing bowl, pour out milk and add butter to pulp and beat until smooth. Then, add the half cup of cheddar cheese. In an express air form bag, place the pulp mixture and zip close. Make a small hole by cutting the tip from the corner of the bag. Then stuff it with cooked ground beef. Pipe out potato mixture on top of potato shells and finally, sprinkle it with the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Return to oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Notes
You can also pour out some ketchup or a little Worcestershire sauce to make it saucier.
