How to Make Baked Potato Pockets With Chili

  1. Warm 1 ½ cups of chili in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Grate 1 cup of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  3. Bake 4 medium russet potatoes until tender (approx. 45-60 mins in oven at 400°F, or microwave for 5-8 mins per potato depending on wattage, or until tender on the BBQ). Once cooked, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Using a fork, fluff the potato flesh slightly, leaving the skin intact.
  4. Spoon warmed chili generously into each potato half.
  5. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese.
  6. Bake for a further 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If using a broiler, broil for the last 2-3 minutes to achieve a perfectly golden brown cheese topping. Enjoy immediately!
