Cheeseburger Baked Potatoes Recipes

CHEESEBURGER BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450. Scrub potatoes and poke the skin of each potato 5-6 times with a fork or the tip of a knife. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place pricked potatoes on foil and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over potatoes and cover with another sheet of foil. Seal the foil around the edges and place pan in oven. (Alternately- You can skip the pan, oil and salt and place the potatoes directly on the oven racks) Bake potatoes for 45 minutes. Meanwhile- Chop or puree the onion (I usually puree the onion because my kids revolt if they find a piece of onion). Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet over high heat with 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground pepper until cooked through. Sometimes brown bits start to accumulate in the pan. To keep it from burning you can add a couple of Tablespoons of water and scrape up the browned bits. I have very lean beef and often have to do this two or three times as the meat cooks. Slice the cooked potatoes lengthwise and top with the meat mixture, diced pickles, cheese and onions. Drizzle with mustard if desired.

CHEESEBURGER-STUFFED BAKED POTATOES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• To prepare the baked potatoes, preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the potatoes in an 8" x 8" baking pan. Cover the pan with foil and bake until soft, about 1 hour. When the potatoes have finished baking, let them cool until you're able to handle them comfortably. While the potatoes are cooling, make the cheese sauce and the filling. To prepare the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a small sauce pot. Add the flour and cook, while stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the salt, pepper, and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. When the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat and add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is completely melted. To prepare the filling, brown the ground beef with the onion in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Drain off the extra fat and place the meat into a medium-size bowl. Add the salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ketchup, dill relish, and cheese sauce to the bowl and set aside. Once the potatoes have cooled, cut an opening, lengthwise, from the top of the potato. Scoop out the flesh, creating a shell. Take 1/2 cup of the potato flesh and chop it into small pieces and set aside. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Place the empty potato shells back into the baking pan. To assemble the baked potatoes, fold in the reserved potato flesh with the ground beef mixture. Fill the prepared potato shells with the mixture and bake for 45 minutes.

TWICE BAKED BACON CHEESEBURGER POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Pierce potatoes and bake at 350 preheated oven for 11/2 hrs or until soft when stuck with a fork.
• 2. Chop onions and peppers in small pieces. Grate cheddar cheese
• 3. Cut bacon in small pieces and fry. Once bacon starts frying add ground sirloin (or hamburger) and half of the onions and peppers. Season with garlic salt and pepper Cook until meat is done. Drain and cover to keep warm.
• 4. When potatoes are done cut them in half long ways. Scoop the insides into a large bowl saving the skin. You will be spooning the potatoes back into the skins so be careful.
• 5. Put softened butter and cream cheese in the potatoes as soon as possible to help melt into it. Add milk and sour cream and mash with potato masher or electric mixer (I use a masher so there is more texture) Add half the shredded cheese and the other half of the onions and peppers and stir it all together. I add a little more garlic salt and pepper to the potatoes (it helps to keep the vampires away)
• 6. Scoop large portions into the potato skins and make indentations in the middle. Top that with the hamburger mixture. Top the whole thing with the remaining shredded cheese.
• 7. Place it back in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. The faster you can mash and mix the less time you need to rebake. I'm slow as ... well you know so I had to heat it for a long time.
