INGREDIENTS
1 medium Russet Potato (~150g)
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef (5% fat, ~85g)
1 ounce Cheddar Cheese (~28g)
1/4 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper (~38g)
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes (No Salt Added, ~62g)
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potato thoroughly and prick it with a fork. Bake the potato for about 45 minutes or until tender.
Once baked, slice the potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin rim. Brush the inside lightly with a small amount of seasoning if desired.
Place the potato skins back on a baking sheet and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes until they become crispy.
While the skins crisp up, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces.
Add the chopped red bell pepper and diced tomatoes to the beef. Sprinkle in the chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Spoon the hearty beef chili mixture evenly into each crispy potato skin.
Top each filled potato skin with shredded cheddar cheese. If desired, place them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve warm.
