Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2

Prick the entire surface of each potato with a sharp knife and wrap tightly in foil. Place in oven and bake until fork tender, about 1 hour.

Step 3

While potatoes are baking, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the ground, onion, carrots, and garlic and cook, until onions and carrots are tender and internal temperature reaches 165°F, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the peas, Worcestershire sauce, flour, salt, and black pepper and continue to cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Unwrap potatoes and cut lengthwise slits through the top of each. Turn oven to broil.

Step 7

Scoop out flesh from the center of each potato and place into a medium mixing bowl.

Step 8

Add ¼ cup butter to the bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until it’s creamy.

Step 9

Add cooked ground mixture and ¾ cup cheddar cheese and mix with a spatula.

Step 10

Spoon filling back into each potato, mounding on top. Sprinkle each with remaining cheese and return to oven until cheese has melted and is bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Step 11

Plate and serve immediately.
