Serve these as appetizers or complete meal with a green salad. This fun dish is always a crowd pleaser. I found this in Family Circle magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 baking potatoes, washed and patted dry (about 7oz each)
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/4 ounces taco seasoning
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
3 scallions, trimmed and chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
ranch dressing

Directions

1
Heat oven to 375. Prick potatoes with a large fork. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain off fat; add onion and 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning and cook 5 minutes.
3
Scoop flesh out of baked potatoes (do not break skins). Place in a bowl; set skins aside. Mash potato flesh; stir in beef mixture, cheese, scallions, black pepper and remaining taco seasoning.
4
Spoon mixture into skins, packing tightly (bake extra in a small casserole). Place filled potatoes in a dish and bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Serve with dressing.
