## 👩‍🍳 How to Prepare Savory Baked Potatoes with Meat and Vegetable Filling

### Step 1: Bake the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly, prick them a few times with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

### Step 2: Prepare the Filling

While the potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions and garlic until fragrant. Add ground meat, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Stir in your mixed vegetables and cook until tender. Season generously with salt, pepper, and spices.

### Step 3: Stuff the Potatoes

Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut a slit lengthwise on the top and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a sturdy shell. Mix the scooped potato with the meat and vegetable filling for extra creaminess if you like. Fill each potato shell with the mixture.

### Step 4: Bake Again (Optional)

For a melty, golden finish, top each stuffed potato with shredded cheese and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
