Loaded Taco Baked Potatoes make for the perfect easy dinner for a busy weeknight. They are also a fun twist for Taco Tuesday!

If your like me you try to switch it out for your family when it comes to dinner time. Some weeks I’m just too busy or too exhausted to want to cook dinner. That’s when my batch cooking method comes handy. On the evening I made these Loaded Taco Baked Potatoes, I had leftover ground taco meat in the refrigerator. All I had to do was cook baked potatoes and reheat the ground beef then load each potato up with all the toppings. I think I even cooked extra baked potatoes to use as homefries for breakfast 1-2 days later! I love when I can cook a meal and turn it into another meal a few nights later! That’s the best way to maximizing time and energy to get dinner on the table.

My husband and I love a good loaded potato. It’s something I would make often when we were newlyweds. Mainly broccoli and cheese or bbq chicken stuffed potatoes. My kids were a little confused by our loaded taco potatoes. But once they had a few bites they were sold. They loved them and enjoyed the twist on our taco night.
