Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Directions

1. Step1
   Bake potatoes in a 425-degree oven for 45 minutes or until they are tender when pricked with a fork.
2. Step2
   While potatoes are baking, cook carrots and green beans in a little simmering water until tender. Prepare the Sloppy Joes recipe.
3. Step3
   Drain carrots and beans and mix into the Sloppy Joes mixture.
4. Step4
   After removing potatoes from oven, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Using a pot holder to hold each potato, sliced the baked potatoes in half the long way.
5. Step5
   Scoop out the white insides, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Place shells on a baking sheet. Place white insides in a mixing bowl.
6. Step6
   Using an electric mixer or potato masher, mash potatoes with salt and pepper. Add hot water as needed to make potatoes the desired consistency.
7. Step7
   Place 1/3 cup Sloppy Joes filling into each of the 12 potato shells.
8. Step8
   Spread 1/2 cup mashed potatoes over top of each shell to cover the filling.
9. Step9
   Sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until heated through.
