8 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 whole baking potatoes (cleaned)
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning (Any brand will work)
  • 2 teaspoons butter, plus
  • 1 teaspoon butter, for the meat
  • cooking spray
  • 3 ounces cheddar cheese
  • 2 ounces sour cream

Directions

  1. 1
    Spray the bottom of a frying pan with cooking spay so that the meat won't stick.
  2. 2
    Cook the ground meat until no pink color is left. (Time to cook ground meat may vary, depending on meat used.).
  3. 3
    Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the meat then roughly half of the taco seasoning. Stir it all until it's combined, then turn off the heat.
  4. 4
    Poke shallow holes in your potatoes, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. (Note: Do not poke holes in the wrap or the potato will not cook properly.).
  5. 5
    Set the power on HIGH and cook for 5-7 minutes each. (Depending on your microwave) You may want to cook them one at a time. (We haven't tried cooking both at a time -- ).
  6. 6
    Carefully remove the potatoes from the microwave and cut them open with a butter knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Add 1 Teaspoon of butter to each potato.
  7. 7
    Plate each potato, and pile on the meat.
  8. 8
    Top with the cheese, and add sour cream. Enjoy! (You could adjust the cheese and sour cream amounts to your liking, too).
