How to Make Baked Jacket Potato With Baked Beans And Cheese

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 2 large potatoes. Prick them several times with a fork.
  3. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, open the can of British baked beans and gently heat them in a small saucepan on the stovetop for about 5 minutes.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully cut them in half lengthwise.
  6. Spoon the heated baked beans generously over each potato half.
  7. Top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) per potato.
  8. Return the potatoes to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
