2. Ingredients for Loaded Chili Baked Potatoes
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- Salt and black pepper
- Salt and black pepper
- 2 cans chili with beans (14 oz. per can)
- 3/4 cup (3 oz.) shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 1 scallion (for serving)
- Sour cream (for serving)
3. Directions:
3.1 Preheat
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
3.2 Prep
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3.3 Oven
Pierce each potato 2-3 times with a fork and wrap each individually in a sheet of aluminum foil. Bake the potatoes directly on middle rack of oven until fork tender, 60-75 minutes. When done, remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to rest until they’re cool enough to handle.
3.4 Prep
Remove the potatoes from the aluminum foil. With a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit in the top of each potato, slicing only halfway down. Carefully pinch the potatoes to open slightly. Scoop out a few tablespoons of the potato flesh from each potato. Reserve for an alternative use, or discard.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Season the insides of the potatoes with salt and black pepper.
Spoon an equal amount of chili into each potato, doming it slightly over the tops. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the potatoes.
3.5 Oven
Bake the potatoes on middle rack of oven until the cheese is melted and the chili and potatoes are heated through, 8-10 minutes.
3.6 Check
Check to see that potatoes are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
3.7 Prep
Finely mince the scallion.
3.8 Serve
Top each potato with a generous spoonful of sour cream and the minced scallion. Serve immediately.
