Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
  • 6 oz. pasteurized process cheese spread, cut into small cubes (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, if desired
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Steps

  • 1
    Scrub potatoes; wrap in heavy-duty foil. Prick potatoes with fork (through foil) to allow steam to escape.
  • 2
    When ready to cook, bake potatoes over campfire coals for 1 hour or until fork-tender, turning frequently.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in small skillet, brown ground beef; drain. Stir in cheese and salsa. (Cheese will not melt completely).
  • 4
    Remove foil from potatoes. Cut x-shaped slit in top of each potato. Gently squeeze lower portion of potato to force cooked potato up through slit. Spoon beef mixture over potatoes. Top with sour cream; sprinkle with onions.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    The low moisture and high starch content of russet potatoes make them perfect baking potatoes.
  • tip 2
    Use lean ground turkey and nonfat sour cream to cut about 5 grams of fat from each serving.
  • tip 3
    Enjoy these hearty potatoes with thick slices of grilled buttered French bread, carrot and celery sticks and sliced cucumbers.
