As your potatoes are cooking, prepare the Black Bean Chili. You can easily have this prepared in advance to reheat and serve stuffed in your baked potato once they have finished cooking, as well. Serve with your favorite toppings. We prefer sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and shredded Cheddar cheese along with a sprinkle of cilantro or fresh parsley.
Make Ahead Instructions
1 hour ahead: Prepare potatoes and chili. Keep potatoes in the oven at 200º F. Keep the chili on the stovetop on warm, stirring occasionally. When ready to serve, assemble chili stuffed potatoes following the recipe. 24 hours to 2 days ahead: Prepare potatoes and chili. Allow both to cool completely and then store in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat the potatoes for 20 minutes in a 350º F oven. Reheat the chili in a microwave safe bowl for 3 minutes at 50% power. Stir and repeat until the chili has completely warmed. Here’s my Chili Stuffed Baked Potatoes Recipe. I hope you love it!
