INGREDIENTS

1 medium Russet potato

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 cup diced red bell pepper

0.5 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 tbsp nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1 tbsp sliced green onions

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• 2

  Scrub the potato clean, prick it several times with a fork, and bake directly on the oven rack for 45-50 minutes until the skin is crisp and the inside is tender.

• 3

  While the potato is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced red bell pepper.

• 4

  Season the beef with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and the peppers are softened, then remove from heat.

• 5

  Once the potato is cool enough to handle, slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about a quarter-inch of potato attached to the skin.

• 6

  Brush the inside and outside of the potato skins with olive oil and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Bake for another 5-8 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy.

• 7

  Fill the crispy skins with the prepared ground beef mixture and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

• 8

  Return the skins to the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

• 9

  Garnish each potato skin with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh green onions before serving.
