Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a 13 by 9 baking dish and smear it along the bottom with a paper towel.

Slice washed potatoes into thick slices and line the bottom of the baking dish with them.

Fill in gaps with quartered potato slices.

Season the potatoes with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Bake the potatoes in a 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes until tender.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Add 2 pounds of ground beef to the pan and break it up as it cooks.

Once the meat is halfway cooked, add 1 packet of taco seasoning and optional extra seasonings like cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Drain excess fat from the pan if necessary, then add a second packet of taco seasoning and stir.

Add 1 cup of water to the frying pan, increase heat to high, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until most liquid evaporates.

Test the potatoes with a skewer to check for doneness, then top with the cooked ground beef evenly.

Sprinkle 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.

Return the dish to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
