Serves 6 people
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1/4 teaspoon
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt
- 6 slices American cheese
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
-
Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place them directly on an oven rack.
-
Bake until tender, 50 to 60 minutes.
-
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.
-
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
-
Cook another 5 minutes.
-
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 teaspoon salt.
-
Set aside.
-
Fill each potato shell with about 2 tablespoons of the cooked hamburger mixture, then top with about 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture, mounding slightly.
-
Top with a slice of American cheese and bake until melted, about 5 minutes.
-
Serve immediately.
