Ingredients
4 baking potatoes (about 7 ounces each), washed and patted dry
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 packet taco seasoning (1.25 ounces)
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
3 scallions, trimmed and chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
Ranch dressing
Directions
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Prick potatoes with a large fork. Bake at 375 F for 45 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain off fat; add onion and 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning and cook 5 minutes.
3. Scoop flesh out of baked potatoes (do not break skins). Place in a bowl; set skins aside. Mash potato flesh; stir in beef mixture, cheese, scallions, black pepper and remaining taco seasoning.
4. Spoon mixture into skins, packing tightly (bake extra in a small casserole). Place filled potatoes in a dish and bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes. Serve with dressing.
