Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Scrub and pierce potatoes. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1 hour or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell (refrigerate pulp for another use). Brush inside and outside of potato shells with butter. Place cut side up on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add tomatoes and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Spoon into potato shells; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream and onions.
Footnotes
- Taco Potato Shells also make a hearty appetizer. Cut the potato shells into wedges, top with the meat mixture and cheese. Bake as directed; serve with sour cream and onions.

This has long since been a family favorite of ours. It's great on Monday ... bake and cut the potato on Sunday. I make this with green beans and serve with Salsa.

I really liked these, but no one else in the family did, and I didn't think they were good enough to justify all the work.

Despite all the work to do these it is well worth it. Absolutely delicious and two thumbs up from hubby. I followed others suggestions and baked the potato the previous day.
