Ingredients
🥔 2 large baked potatoes
🧈 2 tablespoons butter
🧀 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
🥩 150g steak, cooked and diced
🍗 150g chicken, cooked and diced
🍅 1 cup creamy sauce with chopped tomatoes (such as a mixture of sour cream, mayo, and diced tomatoes)
Instructions
1- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Ensure your potatoes have been pre-baked. If not, bake them until they're tender, about 45-60 minutes, before assembling.
2- Slice and Season:
- Once baked, carefully slice each potato open lengthwise to create an opening. Gently fluff the insides with a fork.
3- Butter and Cheese Layer:
- Place 1 tablespoon of butter inside each potato.
- Add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top of the butter, allowing it to melt slightly from the potato's heat.
4- Add Proteins:
- Evenly distribute the diced steak and chicken over the cheese layer.
5- Sauce It Up:
- Generously spoon the creamy tomato sauce over the steak and chicken, ensuring an even coat.
6- Final Bake:
- Place the assembled potatoes back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
7- Serve:
- Carefully remove potatoes from the oven. Serve hot, garnished with extra chopped tomatoes or fresh herbs if desired.
