Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the potatoes cut-side up on a sheet pan. Coat the cut sides with cooking spray and half the salt. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes until the centers are tender and a knife slides in easily.
While the potatoes roast, place the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until crisp, then remove the bacon with a slotted spoon. Leave about 1 teaspoon of fat in the pan.
Add the ground beef to the same skillet. Season with the rest of the salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Done when browned and opaque, 160°F.
When the potatoes come out, use a spoon to slightly mash the centers down. Pile the beef into the potato halves, then top with the bacon and cheddar. Return to the oven to bake for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Done when cheese melted and bubbling.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and top with the sliced green onion.
