Why is it that Wednesdays roll around so quickly? And why is it that I can't seem to stay on top of a silly little cooking blog? I persevere and ask you to forgive me if [when] I'm late or delinquent altogether.
At a friend's suggestion, today's entree is even faster and easier than most of what you have read here. Potatoes are healthy when you don't add a stick of butter, a cup of sour cream, and a pound of bacon bits. Unfortunately, that's my favorite way to eat them. BUT you can be creative and top them with chili, broccoli, even stews/chowders.
Chili Potatoes
Yes, chili potatoes. Two main ingredients. Baked potatoes. (Remember when Costco used to have huge, potato-on-steroids sized spuds for next to nothing? Now the size is smaller and the price is about double. Hmm.) Canned chili. (OK, you can use homemade if you want, and that is coming up next month, but humor me and grab a 99 cent can of canned chili for now.)
If you're still reading and hoping for directions, well, you've missed the simplicity of this meal. :) But here are the directions just in case:
Bake potatoes. Microwave, oven, whatever suits you.
Heat chili on stove. (Because chili always explodes in the microwave.)
Slice open potato, use a fork to fluff, and spoon steaming hot chili over potato.
Top with grated cheese, onion, chives.
Wasn't that easy?
Cheers ~
