Makes 4 Loaded Baked Potatoes
Pierce 4 large potatoes several times and rub a little oil over the skin. Wrap in foil and place in a 425 degree oven for about an hour. Or, cheat like I did and throw them in the microwave!
Brown the ground beef. Add the beans, tomatoes, chilies, garlic and spices. Allow this to simmer for about 10 minutes. Slice potatoes open and top with this mixture of goodness.
Garnish with sour cream, cheese and olives and whatever other toppings you fancy.
