A great way to use left overs!
"These BBQ stuffed baked potatoes are what potato dreams are made of. They’re piled high with BBQ brisket, shredded cheese, sliced green onions, and more. This is one meal that is gonna stick to your ribs and leave you begging for more."
I love a meal that makes enough for leftovers. I’ve waxed long about my leftover obsession on several other posts, so I’ll spare you my lamenting here. Just know that leftovers are my jam and any new way I can find to jazz them up and use them in another meal makes my heart sing!
Now, I love me a baked potato and my “baked potato bar” dinners are something we crave here and there. I was originally planning to just go that route for our Wednesday night meal, but the leftover brisket in the fridge was calling my name. Meat and potatoes are a match made in heaven and just like that, the leftover brisket BBQ stuffed baked potato was born!
BBQ Baked Potato
Servings – 4 Prep Time – 15 Minutes Cook Time – 45 Minutes
Ingredients:
4 large baking potatoes, or your favorite potato
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Toppings
3 cups leftover smoked brisket, pulled pork, shredded chicken or even taco meat will work!
1 cup Colby jack cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper
Additional Topping Options
4 green onions, sliced
6 bacon strips, chopped or crumbled
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prep the potatoes. Wash and scrub your potatoes well. Coat all sides of the potatoes with olive oil, and season with salt. Roll each potato in foil.
Bake the potatoes. Place the seasoned potatoes directly on the center rack of oven and cook for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
Reheat the brisket. During the last 15 minutes of cooking the potatoes, place the brisket in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in BBQ sauce over the brisket; stir to combine. Cook until heated through and tender.
Stuff your potatoes! Cut a slice lengthwise into each of the potatoes and press on the ends to open and smoosh up the potato. Fill each with a portion of the shredded cheese, BBQ sauce, brisket, sliced green onions, and sour cream. And any additional toppings you would like.
Serve immediately.
