Ingredients
  

  • 4 potatoes wrapped in foil and baked
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or try plain Greek yogurt for a protein boost
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or whatever is your families favorite
  • 1/2 cup broccoli blanched, diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms use assorted, wild mushrooms and lightly saute
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers use assorted colors and dice or julienne
  • 2 cups vegetarian chili see recipe
  • 1/3 cup bacon bits
  • 1/2 cup diced avocado or guacamole
  • 2-3 green onions chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. Wrap your potatoes in foil and bake them until they are fork tender about 1hr on 375 degrees.
  2. While the potatoes are baking, get the kids in the kitchen and start chopping and fixing up all of the toppings. Let the kids bowl up, let them chop,(even if it is just a plastic knife). Let them make some topping suggestions that they want. It does not have to be on this list.
  3. Let the potatoes cool slightly, enough to where you can handle them without a towel. Cut the potatoes down the center and squeeze the ends to fluff the inside.
  4. Serve with all of the bowls of toppings and let everyone go to town on their favorite version of the ultimate baked potato! Enjoy!
