Ingredients:
- 25 medium local potatoes, raw
- 1/4 cup, 1/2 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 quart, 1/4 cup, 2 1/4 teaspoon chopped green bell pepper
- 3 cups, 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1/4 cup, 2 1/4 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 quart, 1/4 cup, 2 1/4 teaspoons pinto beans
- 1 quart, 1/4 cup, 2 1/14 teaspoons red kidney beans
- 1 quart, 1 1/3 cup, 2 1/4 tablespoons black beans
- 1/4 cup, 2 1/4 teaspoons chili powder
- 3 tablespoons, 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 1/2 cups, 1 tablespoon canned diced tomatoes
- 2 3/4 cups, 1 tablespoon, 1/4 teaspoons tomato paste
- 1 quart, 3 3/4 cups, 1 tablespoon water
- 1 pound, 9 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare potatoes:
- Remove any bruises or discolored spots from potatoes with a tip of a knife.
- Cut a small hole in each potato with a fork or sharp knife two times on each side, leaving about 1 inch between each hole. The holes allow steam to escape during baking; if you do not cut the potatoes, they may explode during baking.
- If you want a softer skin, rub a small amount of vegetable oil over each potato; for a crispy skin, do not use oil.
- Bake until fork tender.
- Prepare chili:
- Dice onion and green peppers.
- In a large pot, heat oil and saute onions, green peppers, and garlic for 2 to 4 minutes.
- Add (drained) beans, chili powder, and cumin. Stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes and water. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Add tomato paste and mix well. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
- Serve: 1 baked potato, topped with 1 cup chili and 1 ounce cheddar cheese.
