How to Make Barbecue Beef Stuffed Baked Potatoes

There’s nothing like a sweet, tangy sauce mixed with shredded beef and piled high on a bun. But these stuffed potatoes are way better! For easy clean-up, the beef is made in the slow cooker. Make an extra batch of beef and store in the freezer for an easy weeknight dinner. The perfect summer dinner. When it’s too hot to turn on the oven and stand outside by the grill, using your slow cooker is the way to go.

These baked potatoes are huge and I honestly I can only eat half of one.

MORE TOPPING OPTIONS

Maybe you’re thinking… wonder if my guests don’t like coleslaw or think it’s a weird idea. First, I would encourage them to try it. While it may sound weird, it is delicious. The savory beef with the sweet creamy coleslaw is a heavenly combo. It’s a challenge for a hostess when serving multiple people with different palates. My solution for this all-in-one dinner is to create a baked potato bar. Below are a few topping ideas that will complement the barbecue beef and baked potato. Oh, and the barbecue beef recipe can also be easily adapted for pork or chicken.

Hot Summer Cooking Solution

It’s hot, and the last thing you want to do is heat up your house from baking giant potatoes. Below are a few suggestions for keeping your house cool while still enjoying a delicious comfort-food meal.

BAKED POTATOES

MICROWAVE: Scrub the potato under running water, prick it with a fork, then place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for about 5 minutes, flip it over, and microwave it for about 5 more minutes. Let the potato cool for just a few minutes, until it’s safe to handle. Cut the potato lengthwise so that it opens and forms a natural bowl. NOTE: THE TIME DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE POTATO-ADJUST FOR SIZE AND QUANTITY.
OUTDOOR GRILL: Heat grill to medium heat. Wash and dry potatoes. Poke potatoes all over with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roll each potato in aluminum foil, then fold the ends in. Place potatoes on the grill and close the lid. Grill until fork-tender, rotating every 15 minutes or so, about 1 hour. NOTE: THE TIME MAY TAKE LONGER FOR EXTRA LARGE POTATOES
AIR FRYER: Using a fork, pierce the potatoes all over. Spray each potato with a few spritzes of oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Arrange in the basket and air fry at 400°F until a knife can easily be inserted into the center of each potato, about 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. Serve the potatoes, split open, topped with remaining salt and pepper and your favorite toppings. NOTE: THE TIME MAY TAKE LONGER FOR EXTRA LARGE POTATOES

BARBECUE BEEF

SLOW COOKER: Grilling your meat is an option if you don’t mind slicing the beef instead of shredding it. But for a juicy, tender shredded beef, I recommend using a slow cooker.

How to Freeze and Thaw Barbecue Beef

TO FREEZE: Using tongs, move the cooled beef to a freezer-safe, airtight container or freezer bag. Label and freeze up to three months. TO THAW: Place the beef in the refrigerator overnight. Heat the beef in a saucepan over the stove. Serve for sandwiches or for stuffed baked potatoes.
