Prep:
15 minutes
Cook:
15 minutes
Ingredients:
Two 8-oz. (medium) russet potatoes
3 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef (at least 95% lean)
1/2 cup frozen petite mixed vegetables
1/4 tsp. garlic powder, divided
1/4 tsp. onion powder, divided
2 dashes salt, divided
2 dashes black pepper, divided
3 tbsp. beef gravy, or more for topping
2 tsp. light butter
Optional topping: chopped chives
Directions:
Peel a long 2-inch-wide strip of potato skin from the top of each potato. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork. Wrap each potato in a paper towel. Microwave until soft, 7–9 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add beef, veggies, 1/8 tsp. garlic powder, 1/8 tsp. onion powder, 1 dash salt, and 1 dash pepper. Cook, stir, and crumble until beef is fully cooked and veggies have thawed, about 5 minutes.
Add gravy to the skillet. Cook and stir until hot, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Carefully scoop out the insides of the potatoes, and add half of the pulp to a medium bowl. (Reserve remaining potato pulp for another use.) Add butter and remaining 1/8 tsp. garlic powder, 1/8 tsp. onion powder, 1 dash salt, and 1 dash pepper. Mash and mix until creamy and uniform.
Fill potato shells with beef-veggie mixture, and top with mashed potatoes.

HG Tip: Want your potato topping crispy? Broil for 3–4 minutes, until golden brown.
HG FYI: Some store-bought gravy includes gluten, so read labels carefully if that’s a concern.
