How to Make Stuffed Baked Potato Topping

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 1/2 medium onion (chopped) in 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease and transfer the mixture to your slow cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, whisk together 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and gradually whisk in 1 cup milk until a smooth sauce forms. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Stir in 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 1 hour, or until heated through. (Stovetop: Combine all ingredients from steps 1-3 in a skillet and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted.)
  5. Serve generously over baked potatoes, each split open and placed on an individual dinner plate. Garnish with extra cheese or chives, if desired.
