It's my revamp of a recipe that was in our newspaper a couple of years ago and we love it. Make it your own by varying the ingredients to fit your taste. I did and my family loves it! Twice baked potatoes get their name by baking the potatoes once, scooping out the insides to make a filling, then restuffing and baking them a second time.

Instructions to make Shepherd's Pie Twice Baked Potatoes:
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Wash potatoes well.
  2. Bake potatoes for 45-50 minutes, or until they can be easily stabbed with a fork. (I actually was running late on getting dinner started and have a Potato Express handy, so I used that and microwaved for 5 minutes)
  3. While the potatoes are baking, mince the onion and carrot. Brown the ground beef, and add the veggies, chili powder, adobo seasoning, and salt and pepper. Stir fry until veggies are tender. (Whoops, forgot to take a picture of the beef!)
  4. Once potatoes are done baking, carefully cut and outline around the top, pull up the skin, and use a spoon to scoop as much potato out as possible. Be careful not to burn yourself!
  5. Add the milk, sour cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, and half of the cheese to the potato innards and mash them. Add more milk if you'd like them creamier.
  6. Stir the beef mixture into the mashed potatoes until well mixed. Set aside.
  7. In a small bowl or cup, melt the butter. Add the flour and any additional spices (I added extra adobo) and stir to make a thick paste. Spread this paste into the bottom of and sides of the potatoes.
  8. Stuff the potatoes with the beef mixture, and pile it on top too!
  9. Add remaining cheese and bake for 10inutes, or until cheese has melted.
  10. Enjoy! We ate ours with a bit of sour cream on the side. I had Mac n cheese with mine, because I'll never say no to Mac n cheese! :)
