directions

  • Bake potatoes at 375 F for about 45 minutes or until tender.
  • Warm chili beans while potatoes bake.
  • Slice potatoes down the center but not all the way through and gently push in the ends so the potato forms a boat.
  • Add about a 1/4 cup of chili to each potato. They should be full but not overflowing.
  • Top with cheese and enjoy.

  1. Well this was a pleasant surprise! I like chili on a regular baked potato but never thought to try it on a sweet potato. It's really great! The richness of the sweet potato is great with the spicy chili and beans. I only used a little cheese and this made a great tasty lunch - thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  2. Have made this recipe twice now & decided I'd better review it before I forget! Made as written these sweet potatoes are very tasty (using a mild cheddar), & I'd happily make them again just that way! The second time instead of the chili beans, I used some of the pineapple chicken chili that I usually have frozen & that was really great! Thanks for posting this recipe!

  3. I've never put chili on a baked sweet potato, but it really does add a nice layer of flavor. I'll start doing this more often instead of using russets.
     
  4. Simple and good! However, I was the only one to have a sweet potato with the chili and it was just as good as on a regular potato!

  1. I topped the potatoes and chili with sour cream, cheese and fresh chives and they were a hit!
