Dark golden brown crisp half shell potato filled with creamy queso sauce, stuffed with sauteed ground beef topped with fresh shredded lettuce, diced juicy tomatoes, and diced tangy pickles.

Ingredients

  • 24 Each Russet Potato / Precooked Frozen Potato Half Shells
  • 5 ½ cups (1344g) Ground Beef
  • 3 cups (709ml) Cheese Sauce
  • 3 cups (384g) Lettuce (Shredded)
  • 3 cups (384g) Tomatoes (Diced)
  • 1 cup (128g) Pickles (Diced)

Preparation

  1. Gather all ingredients and equipment.
  2. Preheat Oven to 400°F (204°C).
  3. Prepare potato half shells (see below).
  4. Dice tomatoes. Dice pickles. Set aside.
  5. In a pan, cook ground beef (8 cups) season with salt and pepper and hold at 140°F (60°C). Set aside.
  6. Assemble and serve half shells.

To make potato half shell from frozen precooked half shells:

  • Convection Oven: 425°F (218°C) for 6-8 minutes turning once for uniform cooking. Cook from frozen state using recommended time and temperature according to manufacturers instructions.

To assemble:

  • Spoon 1 Tbsp of cheese sauce in each half shell, add 2 Tbsp of cooked ground beef, add 1 Tbsp of shredded lettuce, add 1 Tbsp of diced tomatoes, and 1 tsp of diced pickles.
  • Serve 2 loaded half shells as a serving size (Each serving credits as ½ cup of starchy vegetables and ¼ cup other vegetables in addition to 2 oz MMA).

To make potato half shells from fresh potatoes:

  • Slice the russets in half lengthwise, immediately place them into a medium-sized pot with cold water and salt. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are just fork tender. About 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
  • Carefully spoon some of the flesh out of the potatoes and reserve for another use. Drizzle the potato shells with the olive oil on a baking sheet. Bake the potato shells for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy at 400°F (204°C). Remove from the oven and hold at 140°F (60°C).
