The Works — Proteins & Toppings
- 5
Warm proteins and vegetables
While potatoes bake, warm the chili in a saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering (about 8–10 minutes), stirring occasionally. If using raw broccoli, quickly steam until tender-crisp (about 3–4 minutes), then chop into bite-size pieces. Warm bacon if not already cooked.
- 6
Butter & Cheese
When potatoes are split and fluffed, add 1 tablespoon butter into each open potato and allow it to melt into the flesh. Sprinkle about 6 tablespoons (approximately 0.375 cup) shredded cheddar over each potato so it begins to melt.

Assemble The Works
Top each potato with a generous portion of chili (about 3/8 cup per potato), then add crumbled bacon (about 1.5 oz per potato). Spoon steamed broccoli (about 1/4 cup per potato), diced tomato (about 1/4 cup per potato), and sliced pickled jalapeños (about 1 tablespoon per potato) over the chili and cheese.

Finish with Dairy & Greens
Add a dollop of sour cream (about 2 tablespoons per potato). Sprinkle remaining shredded cheddar if extra cheesiness is desired. Scatter thinly sliced green onions and chopped chives over each potato.
Sauces & Seasonings

Season & Dress
Drizzle each assembled potato with ranch dressing (about 1 tablespoon per potato) and a few drops of hot sauce to taste. Lightly dust smoked paprika over the top for a smoky finish.

Serve
Serve potatoes hot with extra toppings on the side if requested (extra sour cream, cheese, bacon, chili, jalapeños, or ranch). Note any dietary restrictions: omit or substitute bacon for vegetarian, use plant-based sour cream and cheese for dairy-free, or choose a vegetarian chili as needed.
