Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Shredded cheddar cheese, for topping

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes and prick them several times with a fork.
- Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 50-60 minutes, or until tender.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili has thickened.
- Once the potatoes are tender, carefully cut them in half lengthwise.
- Gently fluff the inside of each potato half with a fork.
- Spoon the chili mixture generously into each potato half.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
Notes
- For crispier skins, rub the potatoes with a little oil and salt before baking.
- You can add other vegetables to the chili, such as bell peppers or corn.
- Adjust the chili powder to your spice preference.
