title: Cheeseburger Twice Baked Potatoes
servings: 8
ingredients:
  - 4 russet potatoes
  - 1/2 cup melted butter
  - 1 cup sour cream
  - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  - 1 lb ground beef
  - 1/2 tsp salt
  - 1/2 tsp paprika
  - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  - 1/4 tsp black pepper
  - 6 slices bacon, cooked + crumbled
instructions:
  - "**Bake the potatoes** — Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub and dry the potatoes, then place on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender."
  - "**Brown the beef** — While the potatoes bake, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper."
  - "**Cool the potatoes** — Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool just enough to handle. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F."
  - "**Scoop the potatoes** — Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the insides into a large bowl. Season the potato skins with a little salt and pepper and return them to the oven while you make the filling."
  - "**Mash the filling** — Add melted butter, sour cream, and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese to the potatoes. Mash to your desired texture, then fold in the cooked ground beef."
  - "**Fill the skins** — Spoon the filling back into the potato skins. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon."
  - "**Bake the potatoes** — Bake for another 15 minutes, or until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted."
