Taco-Topped Potato

THIS quick-and-easy recipe fits in well with a busy schedule. Along with a garden salad, it makes a nice light meal for two, but when we want something more filling, I'll serve this potato with a small broiled steak. -Linda Brausen, Janesville, Wisconsin

    This is a quick dinner and filling. I increased the ingredients to cover the potato, and my husband enjoyed it.
