Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and pierce the russet potatoes with a fork, then bake them in the oven for about 45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the ketchup and mustard, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until bubbling at the edges.
Assembly and Baking
- Once the potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the potato flesh and mix it with the ground beef mixture and shredded cheese until well combined.
- Fill the corn or waffle cones with the potato and beef mixture, being careful not to overfill.
- Place the filled cones on a baking sheet and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the cones are crispy.
Serving
- Serve warm, and enjoy your Cheeseburger Stuffed Tater Cones!
