I am in love with the simplicity and efficiency of this recipe for BBQ Beef-Stuffed Potatoes. Everything is made in one pot and then assembled in a very appealing way just before serving. Plus it makes enough that you can reuse the finished ingredients in a variety of subsequent meals.

Ingredients
|
- Combine brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl; rub generously over roast.
- Coat a 5-6 qt slow cooker with olive oil. Place red onion slices in a layer in the bottom of cooker, then place roast on top of onions.
- Rub potatoes with oil and wrap each potato individually in parchment paper. Arrange on top of roast. Cover and cook on LOW 8 hours or until tender.
- Unwrap potatoes; Cut each potato in half crosswise and split each half lengthwise, cutting to but not through the other side. Squeeze each potato half to open for stuffing. Shred roast with 2 forks, and stir to combine with onion mixture.
- Top each potato piece with 1/3 cup beef mixture, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tablespoon sour cream or yogurt. Then sprinkle with green onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Note: Each 1/2 potato makes one serving. Depending on how many people you are serving you can save the remaining potatoes and beef for later in the week.
