Ingredients
Scale
4 large russet potatoes
1 lb ground beef
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Poke holes in each potato with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes until they are tender.
In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef. Brown it until fully cooked through. Then add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic; cook until they are soft.
Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, tomato paste, and crushed tomatoes into the pot. Add in the kidney beans. Let it simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
Once baked potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Carefully slice each potato open lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Use a fork to fluff up the insides gently.
Spoon generous amounts of chili into each potato. Top each one with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced green onions before serving warm.
