Cheeseburger Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Skip the bun and serve all of your favorite cheeseburger ingredients--beef, cheese, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce--with baked potatoes for a hearty and easy dinner recipe that kids and adults will love. Feel free to swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or tofu crumbles.

Ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
½ cup low-fat mayonnaise
8 ounces cooked ground beef, warmed
½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
½ cup diced tomato
¼ cup sliced red onion
4 teaspoons shredded colby jack cheese

Directions

Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave on Medium, turning once or twice, until soft, about 20 minutes. (Alternatively, bake potatoes at 425 degrees F until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.) Transfer to a clean cutting board and let cool slightly.
Holding them with a kitchen towel to protect your hands, make a lengthwise cut to open the potato, but don't cut all the way through. Pinch the ends to expose the flesh.
Top each potato with some mayonnaise, beef, lettuce, tomato, red onion and cheese. Serve warm.
