INGREDIENTS
1 medium Russet Potato (150g)
3 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup Kidney Beans
1/4 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/2 ounce Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Wash the russet potato thoroughly and pat it dry. Pierce it a few times with a fork, then bake directly on the oven rack for about 45-50 minutes until tender.
Once the potato is cool enough to handle, carefully cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin layer attached to the skin.
Using a brush or small amount of cooking spray, lightly coat the insides of the skins with a tiny bit of oil. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then return the skins to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to crisp up.
While the skins crisp, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Stir in the kidney beans and diced tomatoes along with the chili powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until heated through and well blended.
Spoon the hearty beef chili mixture into the crispy potato skins, then sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese on top.
Optional: Return the filled potato skins to the oven for 2-3 minutes if you prefer the cheese to melt further.
Serve immediately and enjoy the satisfying combination of textures and flavors.
