Sloppy Joe Stuffed Potatoes

Ingredients:
Large baking potatoes depending on your family size
1 can sloppy joe mix of your choice
hamburger meat
cheese
green onion optional
sourcream optional

Cook hamburger meat and drain fat. Add sloppy joe mix as usually and add the onions if you choose. Cook potatoes done. Cut potato as usual in the middle but not all the way through. I clean out the potato a little in the middle just to look neater. Put sloppy joe mix in the potato and add cheese and top with sour cream!!! This is really good and the kids love it!!!

CUPPLE

This is very fun and cute for the kids to do.

Take 1 large apple and cut the top off. Hollow the inside with a knife and shape with a spoon. My kids like cut up small apple pieces and put them inside the apple and pour caramel over it. Also they like to put apple juice in it and use cinnamon sticks with it.
