Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground lamb
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean and prick them with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake directly on the oven rack for about 45-50 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown the ground beef or lamb, then add onion, carrots, and garlic; cook until softened.
  3. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and beef broth. Simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened; stir in frozen peas.
  4. Slice the top third off each baked potato and scoop out most of the insides into a bowl. Mash the potato flesh with milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Spoon the meat filling into each hollowed potato and top with mashed potatoes. Return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
