# What You'll Need:

01 -
4 to 6 medium Russet potatoes
02 -
1 pound lean ground beef
03 -
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 -
½ cup sour cream
05 -
1 ounce taco seasoning mix
06 -
¼ cup chopped green onions
07 -
½ cup diced tomatoes
08 -
½ cup water
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Once the potatoes are baked, cut them open carefully. Use a fork to fluff the insides so they're ready for toppings.
02 -
Clean the potatoes well and poke each one with a fork. Bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 to 50 minutes until a fork slides in easily.
03 -
Warm up a big pan on medium. Put the ground beef in and cook it until it's nicely browned, using a spatula to break it apart. Drain off any extra fat.
04 -
Mix in the taco seasoning and half a cup of water with the cooked beef. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring now and then until the sauce thickens up.
05 -
Pile the seasoned beef onto the fluffed potato halves. Sprinkle on the cheddar, sour cream, green onions, and tomatoes. Eat while everything’s warm.
# Helpful Notes:

Try to pick similar sized medium Russets so they cook evenly.
