Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup water

Delicious Toppings

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes, pierce them with a fork, bake at 400°F for 45-50 minutes.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Brown the beef in a skillet, drain excess grease, add taco seasoning and water, simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. Serve: Enjoy while hot and cheese is melted.

Notes

  • These loaded potatoes are like having the best of both worlds – hearty baked potatoes and all your favorite taco flavors in one amazing dish!
  • For extra fluffy potatoes, rub the skins with a little salt and olive oil before baking – this also makes the skins extra crispy and delicious.
  • Feel free to customize your toppings! Try adding black beans, jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • You can bake the potatoes ahead of time and reheat them in the microwave when ready to serve – perfect for meal prep!
  • For a lighter version, try using ground turkey instead of beef, or load them up with just beans and veggies for a vegetarian option.
