How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes
🔥 Step 1: Bake the Potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes, prick with a fork, rub with oil and salt, and place directly on the oven rack. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until soft inside and crispy outside.
Cool for 10 minutes, slice lengthwise, and carefully scoop most of the flesh into a mixing bowl. Leave about ¼ inch of potato inside each shell.
🍳 Step 2: Cook the Cheeseburger Filling
In a skillet, cook ground beef with onions and garlic. Add smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess grease.
Add cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheese to the hot beef mixture. Stir until melty and well combined. Then fold in the scooped potato, chopped bacon, and half of the green onions.
This is the rich, creamy filling that makes your Bacon Cheeseburger Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes unforgettable.
🧀Stuff and Bake Again
Spoon the mixture generously back into each potato shell. Top with extra cheese and chopped bacon if desired.
Bake again at 375°F for 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle with green onions before serving.
Optional: Add a swirl of ketchup or mustard for full cheeseburger effect
