Sloppy Joe Baked Potatoes

Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 8 minutes. Turn potatoes over and microwave until tender, about 7 minutes more.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Add ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink on the surface, about 6 minutes.

Stir in the ketchup, chili sauce, chili powder, and garlic powder; continue cooking until the ground beef is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Split the baked potatoes open lengthwise and gently fluff the flesh with a fork. Top with the hot beef mixture and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
