Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/4 c tomato paste
3 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp plain low-fat yogurt
6 slice american cheese

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place them directly on oven rack. Bake until tender, 50 to 60 minutes. 2. While potatoes are baking, heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until slightly translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the beef, stirring to break it up, and cook about 5 minutes, until browned. 3. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper to taste. Cook another 5 minutes. 4. Remove potatoes from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut them in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving some behind to keep the shells intact. Mash potatoes lightly with a fork, then mix in the butter, yogurt, and 1/4 tsp salt. Set aside. 5. Fill each potato shell with about 2 Tbsp of the cooked hamburger mixture, then top with about 3 Tbsp of the potato mixture, mounding slightly. Top with a slice of American cheese and bake until melted, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
