Loaded Potato Skins
Ingredients:
- 3 strips turkey bacon
- 6 small russet baked potatoes, baked until fork tender
- Avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt (seperated)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded 2% cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions, chopped
- Herby Greek Yogurt: 1/2 cup 0% Greek yogurt ¼ tsp garlic powder 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup 0% Greek yogurt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the potatoes on the sheet pan and drizzle with a small amount of avocado or olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Roll the potatoes in the salt and olive oil mixture until well coated. Bake the potatoes for 40-50 minutes until tender. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy, then remove from the pan. When cool enough to handle, dice into small pieces and set aside. Add the Greek yogurt, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside in the fridge.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, use a knife to slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh of the potatoes, leaving 1/4 inch of flesh remaining.(You can discard the insides or save for other recipes like mashed potatoes).
Spray the potatoes with olive oil on all sides and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Place cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, flip the potatoes and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven, flip to skin side down, and top each with cheese and bacon.
Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted. Take the potatoes out of the oven, top each with a dollop of Greek yogurt dip and a sprinkling of green onions. Serve hot.
If prepping ahead of time, do not add greek yogurt and green onion, but refrigerate until ready to serve. Reheat potato skins in the oven or in an air fryer at 400 degrees for a few minutes until heated through, then top with greek yogurt and green onions.
Burger Bites
Ingredients:
- 28 fancy toothpicks
- 1 lb ground beef, 93/7 or more lean
- 1 ½ tbsp steak seasoning
- ¼ onion, grated
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 28 cherry tomatoes
- 28 dill pickle spheres
- 6 slices 2% cheddar or pepper jack cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 leaves romaine lettuce, cut into 28 (1 1/2-inch) pieces
- Mustard, ketchup, and BBQ, chipotle sauce for dipping
Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a baking sheet with foil. .In a large bowl, combine ground beef, grated onion, steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.
Shape 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of mixture into meatballs; flatten slightly to resemble hamburgers. Line them in rows of 6 on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
While the meatballs are cooking, cut each piece of cheese into 6 rectangles. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and cut lettuce into about 1 – 2 inch square pieces.
When the burgers are done, put together your layers with a meatball on the bottom, followed by a piece of cheese, then pickle round, lettuce, and topped with a halved cherry tomato. Serve with ketchup, mustard, barbeque or any other burger style dipping sauce.
