Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake russet potatoes for 45–60 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool slightly, then scoop out centers, leaving thick walls.
Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat.
Step 3: Fill each baked potato with seasoned beef. Drizzle ranch dressing inside and top generously with shredded cheddar and bacon bits.
Step 4: Return stuffed potatoes to oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 5: Garnish with green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Want more flavor? Add sautéed onions or jalapeños to the filling. These also reheat well and are perfect for next-day lunches.
