Taco Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 large baking potatoes (washed)
1 cup of mexican four cheese blend, divided
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup margarine
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Meat Mixture
1/2 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 cup water

Preparation

Bake potatoes at 400\u00b0 for 1 hour 15 minutes.
While potatoes are cooling (about 15 minutes), cook ground beef until lightly browned.
Drain beef and return to pan; add taco seasoning and water.
Simmer for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Remove a small slice from top of potatoes, removing potato pulp and making sure to leave at least a 1/4-inch shell all the way around.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the following ingredients: 3/4 cup of cheese, sour cream, margarine, salt and pepper; mix well.
Divide pulp evenly between potato shells.
After putting pulp mixture back into shell, make a \"nest\" to add ground beef mixture evenly between the two.
Return to oven to bake for another 25 minutes and then divide remaining cheese (at this point, add more cheese if desired) over each potato.
Bake for another 10 minutes.
