Ingredients for Baked Potatoes Ole

  • Ground Beef
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Baked Potatoes Ole

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 teaspoon of chili powder to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the beef is browned.
  3. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of your favorite salsa.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. While the beef mixture simmers, bake 4 medium potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until tender.
  7. Top each baked potato with the beef and salsa mixture.
  8. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup per potato).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
