Thanks For Visiting Try New Meals.

My mom recently bought me a Taste of Home cookbook. Before this I had never heard of the magazine but from now on I will definitely be looking to buy this each time a new magazine comes out. There are so many delicious recipes contained in that cookbook I don’t even know where to start! One of the new ones I tried was Beef stuffed potatoes. Basically this recipe is like a twice baked potato with a little more stuff in it. I am a sucker for twice baked potatoes as well as potato skins so I figured I would like this recipe as well. Turns out I was right!

INGREDIENTS

• 6 medium baking potatoes
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 Tbsp chopped green onion
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies
• 3 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp chili powder
• ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

• Bake potatoes at 375 for 1 hour or until tender. Cool. Meanwhile in a large skillet, cook the beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain.
• Cut a thin slice off the top of each potato. Carefully scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell; place pulp in a bowl. Add sour cream, chilies, butter, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder and chili powder; mash or beat. Stir in meat mixture until combined. Stuff into potato shells.
• Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.

Recipe Alterations

Surprising even myself I didn’t think this recipe needed any changes and so for once I left well enough alone.

Family Taste Test

Personally I really enjoyed this recipe. My family was not as impressed. Not that they did not like them but my husband found them to be a little plain and my son ate them but did not want them for lunch leftovers the next day so you could tell they were not his favorite.

My Thoughts

I was not sure at first how the chilies would taste in the potatoes but I loved the flavor they added. It was a nice change from the usual and these potatoes were also very simple to make. I don’t think the hamburger added a whole lot so you could make it without that but everything else I would keep the same. I will be making these again if even just for myself.
