  • 12 Idaho potatoes, baked
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Olive oil
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 4 cups Bush’s Best® Chili Magic® Chili Starter
  • 14 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup scallions, fresh, chopped

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash potatoes and rub with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork, wrap in foil, and place on a sheet tray to bake. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until skin is crisp and a knife slides through the center easily.
  2. In a medium heavy-bottom pot, brown ground beef on medium-high heat and render off the fat. Add diced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes before adding Bush’s Chili Magic® and crushed tomatoes. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, then hold warm until ready to ladle over potatoes.
  3. To load potatoes, slice baked potato lengthwise and gently fluff interior with a fork. Top generously with shredded cheddar and spoon chili mixture over potato. Place dollop of sour cream (about 2 Tbsp) on top and garnish with thinly sliced scallions (about 1 Tbsp).
