Loaded Nacho Chilli Jacket Potatoes

The ultimate fakeaway night just got faster. Jacket potatoes piled high with a cheat’s beef chilli, crunchy tortilla chips, a dollop of sour cream, and a scoop of guac. It’s nachos meets chilli, and it’s every bit as good as it sounds. Our cheat’s chilli is a speedy version using ground cumin and a beef stock cube for instant flavour. Cooking the beef mince with the crumbled stock cube is also a great way to add colour, when you don’t have time to spend ages over the stove. This makes a generous portion of chilli - you can load up the extra with all the toppings, or keep some for lunch the next day (also delicious stuffed into wraps).For a vegetarian version swap the beef mince for a vegetarian mince.

Method

Cook the jacket potatoes

  • Cook the jacket potatoes according to the back of packet instructions, the exact time will vary on the number of potatoes you are cooking. (For a serves 2 cook at 850W 7 mins. For a serves 4 cook at 850W for 15 mins - please check the back of pack).
  • Alternatively if you prefer you can cook baking potatoes in a preheated oven at 220C/200C fan. Rub a little oil over each potato and bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 190C/180C and bake for another 40 minutes - 1 hour, until the skin is crisp. Or you can cook them in the air fryer at 200C for 20 mins, then turn the potatoes over and bake for another 20 minutes.

Make the chilli

  • Peel and chop the red onion. Heat a dash of your preferred oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic granules, crumbled beef stock cube and ground cumin with the beef mince and cook until browned.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato purée, season, and simmer for 10–12 minutes until thickened and rich.

Load up the jacket potatoes

  • Split open the hot jacket potatoes and spoon over the chilli. Top with the grated cheddar cheese (you could also use mozzarella) crushed tortilla chips, a dollop of sour cream and guacamole. Tuck in and enjoy!
