This is our take on the classic microwave jacket potato and minced beef recipe. The combination of sweet and savoury flavours will soon become one of your favourites.
A Meal in One
Do you ever feel so hungry that you could eat both the meal and the bowl it’s in? Well, with this recipe, you can certainly do that! And don’t worry, you won’t be chewing on plastic; in this meal, the potato is the bowl! This means that you can eat all of the piping hot minced beef inside and enjoy the tender spiced potato all at the same time.
A Great Side
Although it’s stuffed with meat, it can still act as a decent side instead of your main dish. This jacket potato stuffed with minced beef sauce pairs well with big green salads, veggie stir fry, or even another protein-based dish. It’s all up to you!
The opportunities are nearly endless, so it might be easier to mention what you should not pair this dish with. Something that is equally as starchy as a potato, such as a pasta dish, may not be a good choice for a well-balanced meal.
Don’t Forget Your Toppings!
To top everything off, we like to add a pinch of something fresh and inviting. Some chopped parsley, or even some chives, can really add that dash of colour that you need to complete the whole dish. What do you like to top your baked potatoes with?
