Stuffed Sweet Potato Skins Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly 5 to 10 minutes.

While potatoes are cooling heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage and onion in the hot skillet until meat is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer mixture to a medium to large heat-proof bowl. Add Cheddar cheese and mix well.

Slice cooled spuds lengthwise. Scoop insides out and into the sausage mixture creating a cavity in the potato skins. Stir sausage mixture well; mound ingredients evenly into the empty potato skins using a small scoop. Arrange on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through 15 to 20 minutes.
