Servings: 4
Author Notes: This makes a quick and easy lunch or supper.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
4 medium baking potatoes
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 can (15 ounces) hot chili beans
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions: Pierce potatoes with fork. Microwave on HIGH 11 to 13 minutes or until tender, rotating 1/4 turn after 6 minutes. Or bake potatoes in a conventional oven.  Let stand 5 minutes.

Meanwhile in large nonstick skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking up into 3/4" crumbles. Pour off drippings. Season with chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in beans and 1 cup cheese and heat through, stirring occasionally.

Cut lengthwise slit in potatoes and fluff pulp with fork. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Spoon equal amount of beef mixture over each potato. Top with remaining cheese and green onions.
