A hearty and flavorful loaded baked potato stuffed with smoky BBQ brisket, sharp cheddar cheese, and creamy sour cream, perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded BBQ brisket
  • 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (smoky and slightly sweet)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: jalapeños or pickled red onions for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub russet potatoes under cold water and dry well.
  2. Prick each potato several times with a fork. Rub skins with softened butter and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Place potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes until skins are crisp and insides soft.
  4. While potatoes bake, shred cooked brisket and toss with BBQ sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
  5. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice each potato lengthwise and fluff the interior with a fork.
  6. Mix potato flesh gently with 2 tablespoons softened butter and 1/2 cup sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Fill each potato with BBQ brisket, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Return loaded potatoes to oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with sliced green onions and optional toppings like jalapeños or pickled red onions.
  10. Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

For crispier skins, rub potatoes with butter before baking. Use a serrated knife to slice potatoes cleanly. If brisket is dry, warm with a splash of beef broth before tossing with BBQ sauce. Watch cheese closely when melting to avoid burning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat in oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
