Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes and poke holes in each with a fork. Bake for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef until browned for 6-8 minutes, then add chopped vegetables and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Let the potatoes cool, slice in half lengthwise, and scoop out the insides. Mash the potato flesh with butter and milk until smooth.
  4. Fold the meat and vegetable mixture into the mashed potatoes, adjusting seasoning as necessary.
  5. Stuff the potato skins with the filling. Optionally top with cheese. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until heated through.
  6. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve warm.
