Notes

For variations, swap out ground beef for ground chicken, turkey, or plant-based meat. Ensure to check potatoes halfway through baking for doneness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for a month, separating toppings from potatoes for best texture.
