Frito Pie Baked Potato

"This is a spicy meal meant for singles or couples. It's delicious and a great comfort food! Even though it involves a baked potato, this is not a side dish - it's a full meal. Thanks to Bakers Brothers Deli for the inspiration! For me, this is way too much food, so I usually eat half of it for one meal and half later."

  • After cooking the potato until tender, chunk it with a fork removing any brown spots while adding in the butter.
  • Sprinkle the potato with cheese and pour on some of the heated chili. If necessary, heat the smothered potato in the microwave for 30 seconds or so.

  1. This was a simple and tasty meal. Both my grandson and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for sharing. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup Tag.
     
  2. We ate this tonight along with Starvin's Nachos. The combo made a good dinner. It was very filling. The only change I made was that I served it with Homemade Salsa instead of the Tabasco Sauce. The next time I will probably add some spicey ground meat to the chili beans since we really enjoy meat as well as the beans. Made for PAC Fall 2009.

<img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> I LOVE food but don't eat often and rarely cook anymore. I've never been married and don't have kids, so it's just not worth the effort most of the time. I hate seeing food go to waste, and a lot of times the fresh fruits and vegetables and bread I buy end up in the trash after turning bad, so I've basically quit grocery shopping except for necessities (for me, that means canned goods and microwaveable stuff; I know, not the healthiest). Cooking an actual meal is great on occasion, until the fourth day of leftovers (the first three days are usually great! But even good food gets tiresome if eaten repeatedly for days...). Sorry if it sounds like I'm whining; I'm not. Just stating facts. Co-workers and neighbors who always seem to cook too much keep me supplied with their leftovers, which is fantastic for me (I just heat them up when I get hungry), but I've really started missing cooking. So here I am. I'm ready to get motivated about gardening, traveling, and cooking again! They all go hand in hand, in my opinion.
