Ingredient

Baked Potatoes

• 8 large russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Sloppy Joe Mixture

• 1 pound ground beef
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• ¾ cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• ½ cup water
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2-3 green onions, diced

Instruction

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Baked Potatoes

• Wash each potato and pierce a couple of holes on each side with a sharp knife or fork.
• Coat each potato with canola oil and salt and bake for 1 hour. (Potatoes should be fork-tender when done.)
• Set potatoes aside to cool slightly.

Sloppy Joe Mixture

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until the beef is no longer pink. Drain.
• Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, and water, mixing until combined. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Assembly

• Using a sharp knife, slice the top off of each potato.
• Remove a scoop of potato out of each one and place it in a small bowl. (You will have a total of about ½ cup potato.)
• Mash the scoops of potatoes and add them to the sloppy joe mixture. Mix to combine.
• Top the baked potatoes with equal amounts of sloppy joe mixture and shredded cheese. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese is melted.
• Served topped with sour cream and green onion.
