Chili Cheese Baked Potato
This baked potato is filled with chili, topped with cheese and garnished with chili powder and green onion. This is a delicious way to use up leftover chili and it was a wonderful meal.
After baking a large potato, let it cool
just until you can hold it with your bare
hand. Using a sharp pointed knife, cut
off the top 1/4 from the potato and
scoop out the inside leaving about 1/2”
remaining.
Fill the potato with your
favorite warmed up chili.
Top with your favorite cheese, I
used pepper jack cheese, but
cheddar works too.
Place the potato on crumbled foil
to help hold it upright and then
broil until the cheese melts.
Place the potato on a serving plate,
garnish with chili powder and
green onion then serve.

Ingredients
- 1 large baking potato, scrubbed and rinsed
- 1-2 cups warm chili
- 1/4 cup cheese, your favorite
- pinch of chili powder for garnish
- 1 sliced green onion (green part only) for garnish
Directions
- Bake the potato until tender. I bake mine without piercing and place it right on the center oven rack. I bake at 350 degrees until soft, about 1 to 1½ hours depending on size.
- Remove potato from the oven and let it cool just until you can hold it with your hand and not get burnt.
- Using a sharp pointed knife, cut off the top quarter of the potato. Use a spoon and scoop out the inside making sure you leave about 1/2″ of the potato still attached to the skin to hold the chili.
- Fill the potato with the chili and top with the cheese.
- Place the potato on crumbled up foil so it won’t tip over, then broil until the cheese melts.
- Garnish with chili powder and green onion, then serve.

This sounds delicious!
Thank you Michael, we really loved it. ❤️
Reblogged this on NEW BLOG HERE >> https:/BOOKS.ESLARN-NET.DE.
Thank you for sharing this Michael. 💕
Surprising, looks like a nature given takeaway. :-)) Thanks for sharing! Best wishes, Michael
Thank you Michael!❤️
Feels delicious indeed! But oh me, I don’t eat much chilli, not more than just a pinch or even none at all most of the time. It gives me heart crumbs and I don’t know why. Can it still be sweet without chilli?
https://wp.me/p7LF0S-boS Here is a similar baked potato with a sausage filling that should be better on you stomach. I hope this will work better for you.
You’re simply amazing, dear. Indeed. Good cooks provide options. Thank you 😊 ❤
I’m right there with the word potato!
I love how many ways we can prepare potatoes, the possibilities are endless. I was thrilled by how delicious this turned out, even my husband love it.
I’m sure you don’t throw away the potato you carve out. What is your favorite thing to do with it?
I added chili on it too and ate it. Lol
This sounds good. But at the risk of sounding dumb, what do you do with the innards of the potato? I presume you use it like mashed potato? Also, I don’t like to heat up my oven for one potato for over an hour. Do you cook something else at the same time? Thank you!
That’s not a dumb question at all! I ate the scooped out inside, I could never waste potato (my weakness). There isn’t enough scooped out to mash so I added chili on it too. If you have an air fryer, you could cook the potato there or even microwave it. I baked 3 potatoes and then used the extra for other dinners as a regular baked potato, I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for reblogging this recipe.❤️
This looks very delicious! And a nice and complete meal with all the key food groups too. 😊
Thank you Ab❤️
Yummy, and easy! Thank you, Diane. What kind of potato did you use? Looks like a russet?

Yes it was a russet Mitzy, thank you so much.
Fantastic idea and next time I make twice baked potatoes I am going to come looking for you to help me. You did a fabulous job excavating that potato.
Thank you Bernadette, I was so happy it tasted delicious and I will be making it again.
The absolutely perfect dinner! Thanks Diane 💕C
You’re welcome Cheryl and thank you!
Yum, yum, yum, just from the photos and reading the recipe! Now I need to make it 🙂
Thank you! It was the best meal and fun to make, enjoy!
I’ve never had one of these, nor those bread bowls with chili in them … who got to eat the potato innards?
I added chili to them and sucked it down. Hahaha
What a great idea! I’m not a huge fan of chilli (my husband is) … so, while he’s enjoying the chilli potato, I will enjoy the potato that been scooped out. Sounds like a win-win situation 😉.
Well that sounds like a great idea! Thank you❤️
I’ll definitely try this. By the way, I made your Easy Chicken Tortillas Soup for the second time this week. I plan to make it every week until warm weather arrives.
I’m so glad you like it Janet. Thank you for always telling me it makes it all worth it having a blog.❤️
Yum, I agree, a great way to use up extra chili. My potato loving family would love this.
Great! They are fun to make too.
Thanks for reblogging❤️
Natural way of making and it looks delicious.
Thank you it was very good.
I’m binge-reading your blog while waiting for the casserole in the oven, and I have to say these potatoes sound infinitely better than the casserole! I wonder if it’s too late to start over…?
It’s never too late! Save the casserole for leftovers. Lol Thank you ❤️
