Sloppy Joes in Potato Jackets
Kids will love this take on their favorite messy dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 3/4 tsp ground cumin
- 12 oz lean ground beef
- 2/3 cup ketchup
- 1 Tbs packed light brown sugar
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Scrub potatoes with vegetable brush under cold running water. Rub lightly with oil, if desired. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
- Bake until tender when pierced with a fork, about 50 to 60 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are slightly softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in chili powder and cumin. Cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon until no longer pink and meat starts to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the ketchup, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened and beef is cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cut or pierce tops of the baked potatoes lengthwise and then make a short cut crosswise. Squeeze the ends and push toward center to open. Top each with 1/4 of the beef mixture.
