- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 small sweet onion diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 small red bell pepper seeded and diced
- 1 small green bell pepper seeded and diced

- 1 pound lean ground beef
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- On a foil-lined baking sheet, place the potatoes cut side down. Bake for 30 minutes, until fork-tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add coconut oil, onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until soft. Add tomato paste, red pepper flakes, and Dijon mustard, stirring well. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up with a spatula. Once cooked through, add honey, apple cider vinegar, and water.

Refill each potato skin with a portion of this mixture, and return to the oven to finish baking 10 to 15 minutes.
