Ingredients
- 11 oz russet potato
- 7 9/10 oz extra lean ground beef
- 2 cheese
- 1 caramelized onion
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- to taste garlic
Burger Sauce
- 2 1/10 oz greek yogurt
- 0.71 oz ketchup
- 0.26 oz mustard
- 0.18 oz light mayo
- 0.11 oz worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F) and place a rack in the middle of the oven.
- 2Using a fork, prick the russet potato all over to allow steam to escape, then place it directly on the oven rack.
- 3Bake the potato for about 45 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and a fork slides easily into the centre.
- 4While the potato bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the extra‑lean ground beef; break it up with a spatula and cook until fully browned and crumbly, about 6‑8 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic.
- 5In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ketchup, mustard, light mayo, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth to create the burger sauce; set aside.
- 6When the beef is done, remove it from heat and keep warm.
- 7Once the potato is tender, remove it from the oven. Slice it lengthwise down the centre, being careful not to cut all the way through, and fluff the interior with a fork to create a light “bed” for toppings.
- 8Layer the cooked ground beef evenly over the fluffed potato, then place the cheese slices on top so they begin to melt from the residual heat.
- 9Scatter the caramelized onion over the cheese, allowing its sweetness to meld with the beef.
- 10Drizzle the prepared burger sauce generously over the assembled potato, ensuring all components are coated.
- 11Finish by seasoning the top with additional salt, pepper, and a light dusting of garlic to taste.
- 12Allow the assembled potato to rest for 2‑3 minutes so the cheese fully melts, then serve immediately.
