Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

15-20 small waxy potatoes (baked til almost done or microwaved for about 2 minutes)
1 lb. ground lean sirloin
1/2 diced onion
1/2 mini-diced green pepper
2 cups tomato sauce (I used homemade)
1 tsp. Tarragon
1 tsp. Dried Basil
1 egg
1/2 cup cooked potatoes (from the scooping out)
1/4 cup water
Salt/Sea Salt for taste
optional - 1/2 cup grated cheese for baking

Steps:

1) Cut the top from each potato, scoop out the insides and hold for using in the meatloaf. Sprinkle a few grains of salt into the hollowed out potato. 2) Mix all the rest of the ingredients (except the cheese) and spoon a tsp. (or a scoop) into each hollowed out baked potato. 3) Sprinkle grated cheese on top, and a few extra grains of Sea Salt. 4) Place the potatoes in a baking pan and cook in a preheated 325F oven for about 20 mins. 5) Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving for finger food.
