We add a touch of Italy to these baked potatoes with beefed up spaghetti sauce, pepperoni and more. Now, that's amore! Ingredients:
4 large baking potatoes |
1/2 pound ground beef |
1 medium green pepper, chopped |
1 medium carrot, shredded |
1 small onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 jar (24 ounces) spaghetti sauce with mushrooms |
5 ounces pepperoni, chopped |
1/4 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium beef broth |
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat colby-monterey jack cheese |
Directions:
1. Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 15 minutes or until tender, turning once.
2. In a Dutch oven, cook the ground beef, green pepper, carrot, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the spaghetti sauce, pepperoni, wine, oregano and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
3. With a sharp knife, cut an X in each potato; fluff pulp with a fork. Spoon sauce over potatoes and sprinkle with cheese. Microwave until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
