Method

Baked Potato Preparation

  1. 1

    Bake the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the large russet potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub them with a little salt and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  2. 2

    Add Butter and Season

    Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Cut a slit down the center of each potato, fluff the insides with a fork, and add butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Chili Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef, cooking until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

  3. 5

    Add Beans and Tomatoes

    Add the canned diced tomatoes and kidney beans (drained and rinsed) to the skillet. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cheddar Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly but not browned.

  2. 7

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens. Add the cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Place each baked potato on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of chili over each potato. Drizzle with cheddar cheese sauce, then top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced green onions.
