Not only is this recipe quick and easy to make, but it's an economical treat as well. I don't know of a more satisfying way to stretch a half pound of meat! —Sheila Friedrich, Antelope, Montana

Ingredients

4 medium baking potatoes
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Optional: Fresh oregano, basil or parsley

Directions

Prick potatoes with a fork; cook in a microwave until tender. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and green pepper with onion until meat is no longer pink; crumble meat; drain. Stir in tomato and pizza sauce; heat through.
Split potatoes lengthwise; flake potato centers with a fork. Spoon meat mixture into each; top with mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with herbs if desired.

Test Kitchen Tips

Italian sausage also tastes great in this recipe.

If you have leftover potatoes from last night's dinner, this is a good way to repurpose them. Baked sweet potatoes will work, too!
