List of Ingredients




1 1/2 lb. ground beef
4 med. baking potatoes (8 oz. ea.)
1 T. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
15 oz. can hot chili beans
1 1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 c. sliced green onions

Pierce potatoes with fork. Microwave on HIGH, 11-13 minutes, or until tender, rotating t1/4 turn after 6 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick pan, brown beef over medium-high heat 6-8 minutes, or until no longer pink, breaking up into 3/4 " crumbles. Pour off drippings. Season with chili powder and salt. Stir in beans and 1 c. cheese; heat through, stirring occasionally.

Cut lengthwise slit in potatoes; fluff pulp with fork. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Spoon equal amounts of beef mixture over each potato. Top with remaining cheese and green onions.
