Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Melt half the butter in a non-stick pan. Cook the onion for 3-4 mins, then increase the heat and add the mince. Fry for a further 3-4 mins until the beef has browned. Stir in the stock, Worcestershire sauce, tomato purée and some seasoning. Gently bubble for 15-20 mins until the mince is tender and the sauce has thickened.

  • step 2

    To assemble, cut the jacket potato in half lengthways and scoop the flesh into a small bowl, leaving the skin intact. Mash the potato with the remaining butter and season well. Divide the mince between the potato skins, then cover with the mash. Transfer the potatoes to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese, then bake for 15-20 mins until golden. Serve with your favourite veg.

Thanks for your question. This serves one person but is easily scaled up.

The last farmer in my family was my great grandfather, but this annoys me too. I do get annoyed by most mistakes like this, though.

These are just in the oven & if you are not too fussy they look great! However I microwaved the potatoes and maybe this made the skins a bit soft as I managed to pierce one with the spoon, I have patched it up with some mash so here's hoping!

so glad i found this recipe. made the fillings before with different recipes, but not as tasty. however, i did add a little more of tomato puree and beef bouillon cube to make it a bit thicker and tastier. definitely a keeper. thanks!
