Loaded Twice-Baked Potatoes

I've made this recipe twice now. Followed exactly as written. It's the only thing my picky eater kids request. We all love it.

These are absolutely delicious. Not sure why but the filling was waaay too much to put back in the potatoes; I only needed about half of it, but I also didn't pile it up to the sky. (Will be using the rest to make homemade perogies, yummm!) Changes: I seasoned the ground beef with Weber Chicago Steak (about 1/2 tbsp), used 1/4c each lite and regular sour cream, rubbed the potato with olive oil and sprinkled with salt & pepper and baked them to get a nice crispy skin. I also added about 1/3c sauteed mushrooms, because mushrooms. Pros: easy, crowd pleasing comfort food Cons: I weighed the potatoes to get 4 as close in size as possible, with each at about 205g the recipe does work out to about 490 cals per serving (using my changes), however its much less since I used only half of the filling so 245 cals. It would be helpful if the recipe states the grams/ounces of potato they used considering this greatly affects the nutrition content.

Delicious, Quick and Easy I LOVE this recipe. It very easy to change up this recipe to your liking. Instead of adding meat and sour cream, I just stuck with broccoli, cheddar cheese and some black pepper for a little spice. It went great with my evening meal and this will not be the last time I load my potatoes! Pros: Easy to modify

I loved this recipe and my family wants them again! I served it with a side wedge salad. I even doubled the recipe but most of us only ate 1 potato because they're so filling. My only complaint was the filling was a bit dry, but I added a dollop of extra sour cream on the top and that fixed it. There was also a lot of filling left, but I put it in the refrigerator. Pros: Easy, filling, delicious

Delicious and Filling I made this last night and was very impressed. For very few ingredients, my meal was huge! I used ground turkey meat instead of beef, doubled the broccoli, and added sliced mushrooms. As a result, my filling overflowed, but that's was just fine! I seasoned the meat with a salt-free herb blend and it added a nice touch. It did take about 45 minutes start to finish, so it's not a super quick meal. I felt like the simplicity made up for that though. It's not like I was pulling out 20 ingredients and chopping and dicing the whole time. In the end, it was tasty and more than filling. I actually couldn't finish the whole potato. Looking forward to left-overs tonight! Pros: Simple, inexpensive, and tasty Cons: Not the fastest meal to make

Pretty Good This is a tasty recipe. My family and I enjoyed it. I made the vegetarian version, but not with the meat alternative, I used more broccoli. You don't miss the butter or cream that is in a normal twice baked recipe. Pros: You can play with the recipe to your liking Cons: It takes a bit of time, at least when you use the vegetarian (more broccoli) version

Make these again!That's the response I got from my son as he loaded his next spoonful. Love these stuffed potatoes -- or try them with diced ham and chopped steamed asparagus. Even faster to prepare!

the overall calorie and fat count are too high for me.

I made them with out the meat and it came out tasty. Very easy to make and the cost was low! I made them with the golden baked pork cutlets. This will definitely be a weekly meal.

I made these as a side dish with grilled steaks. We were impressed! I followed the directions to cook the potatoes in the microwave and it was so easy. I omitted the beef from the potato, and substituted non-fat greek yogurt for the sour cream. I also added a couple to tbsp. of prepared basil pesto I had made previously. I'll never use the oven to make potatoes again!

I skipped the ground beef using sauted onion and zuccini along with broccoli. It was a wonderfull lunch.

Using a microwave isnt unhealthy, its a means to cooking certain things, it is WHAT you cook in the microwave that can be unhealthy. This was a great meal and the microwave made it way too easy and convenient if your in a hurry. My kids asked for seconds and it was an awesome way to get them to eat more veggies!

Why would you recommend using a microwave? isn't this supposed to be healthy? JENNIFER VALENZUELA, LONG BEACH, CA
