How to Make Cheesy Baked Beans In Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  3. Pierce 4 large russet potatoes in several places with a skewer.
  4. Microwave potatoes on high for 12-14 minutes, or until tender. (Alternatively, bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, turning halfway).
  5. While potatoes cook, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine 100g sliced cabanossi (or salami), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
  6. Cut a small slice off the base of each potato to create a stable base.
  7. Using a teaspoon, scoop out about 1cm of potato from the center of each potato, leaving a 1cm border.
  8. Roughly chop the scooped-out potato and add it to the salami mixture.
  9. Place potatoes on the prepared tray.
  10. Spoon 1/4 cup of baked beans into each potato.
  11. Divide the salami mixture evenly among the potatoes.
  12. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
