Philly Cheesesteak Baked Potatoes

Ingredients:

4 large russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound thinly sliced beef (ribeye, flank steak, or sirloin)

1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Bake the Potatoes:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Scrub and pierce each potato with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Prepare the Cheesesteak Filling:

While the potatoes are baking, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced beef and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Add the onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms (if using). Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Baked Potatoes:

Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly, then slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.

Spoon the beef and veggie mixture evenly into each potato.

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.

Final Bake:

Return the filled potatoes to the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

Remove from the oven and top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve hot.
