Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, for rubbing
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (substituted for Worcestershire sauce)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon flour (optional, to thicken)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub and prepare the russet potatoes by rubbing them with olive oil and sprinkling with salt. Bake for 50–60 minutes until tender.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add ground beef, cooking until browned.
  3. Stir in diced carrots, frozen peas, tomato paste, soy sauce, thyme, and beef broth. Simmer for 10–12 minutes until thickened.
  4. Prepare mashed potatoes by combining cooked potatoes with butter and milk until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Once baked, slice the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out some flesh to create space for filling. Fill each potato with the meat mixture, top with mashed potatoes, and bake again for another 10 minutes or broil until golden brown.
