Beefed Up Spuds

Beefed Up Spuds

Recipe Ingredients:

Meat:

  • OMR beef roast (any cut)
  • Bullseye BBQ sauce
  • Liquid smoke (optional)

Potatoes:

  • Russet potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Toppings:

  • Marble cheese, grated
  • Sour cream
  • OMR bacon
  • Green onion, sliced

Directions:

  1. Pat the roast dry with a paper towel and place it in a large slow cooker. Pour a small amount of liquid smoke (optional) and BBQ sauce over top. Cover with a lid and cook on low for 8–10 hours or high for 5–6 hours.
  2. About 1½ hours before the meat is finished, preheat the oven to 400°F.
  3. Wash and dry the russet potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange the potatoes on it. Drizzle with olive oil, coating all sides, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  5. While potatoes are baking, line another baking sheet with foil and lay bacon in a single layer. Place in the preheated oven and cook for about 18 minutes, or until crisp (watch closely). Remove, let cool slightly, then chop into small pieces.
  6. When the potatoes are done, cut each one in half and gently mash the inside with a fork. Fill each potato with pulled beef, then top with grated cheese (repeat with all potatoes).
  7. Place the filled potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and broil just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Serve hot, topped with sour cream, bacon bits, and sliced green onion.
