Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 tbsp oil
- Salt
- 6 pieces bacon cooked and chopped ((or bacon bits))
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 1/2 tsp each of salt, pepper, ground mustard
- 1 tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp pickle juice
- 8 oz Colby Jack cheese (shredded)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
Instructions
- Scrub and wash four large russet potatoes. Dry the potatoes. Poke holes in them and cover them in olive oil and salt. Cook them in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour or until soft.
- If you are not using bacon bits for this recipe, cook 6 pieces of bacon. I prefer to bake bacon on a sheet pan in the oven at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Drain grease and chop. Set aside.
- When the potatoes have about 15 minutes left to cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown 1 lb of ground beef with chopped onion. Season with salt, pepper, ground mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, Drain any extra grease from the meat.
- Next, add the minced garlic, ketchup, mustard, and pickle juice. Stir well.
- Make the quick burger sauce by mixing together mayo, ketchup, and mustard.
- Build your potatoes with shredded Colby Jack Cheese, the ground beef mixture, more cheese, burger sauce, bacon, and green onions! Add any of your favorite burger toppings! Enjoy!
