Ingredients

Baked Potatoes

  • 4 to 6 medium russet potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

Chili

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large yellow or white onion diced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (66g) tomato paste
  • 4 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 14-ounce can crushed or diced tomatoes
  • 1 15-ounce can pinto beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 15-ounce can kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup beef broth

Toppings

  • ¾ cup sour cream optional
  • 1 ½ shredded cheese optional

Instructions

Baked Potatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Pierce cleaned potatoes all over with a fork.
  • Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Bake on a baking sheet for 60 to 75 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.

Chili

  • While your potatoes cook, in a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot add onions and cook until they just begin to turn translucent around the edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Add ground beef and salt, and cook, stirring often, until beef is browned. If the beef releases an excessive amount of fat (more than a tablespoon or two), you can drain the meat or use a paper towel to absorb some of the grease.
  • Stir in tomato paste, garlic, and spices, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic.
  • Stir in tomatoes, beans, and broth. Bring to a simmer and simmer the chili uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and chili has thickened.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.

Assemble Potatoes

  • Cut potatoes open and top with chili, sour cream, cheese, and any other toppings you prefer. Serve and enjoy!
