My children love it when I make baked potato bar for supper. I am not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that they have all of the ingredients out on the counter, and they get to choose what they want to make their own creation. Our November recipe of the month, Spicy Stuffed Potatoes, is perfect for your own baked potato bar.
This recipe comes together pretty easily. You bake your potatoes and then mix together the topping of 1 cup cooked black beans, 1 cup salsa, and 1 cup cooked corn. Set out the black bean topping along with other yummy options such as chopped peppers, chopped onions, avocado, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Then each person can make their own baked potato creation. After years of making this recipe, here are some tips I have learned:
- I usually “bake” the potatoes in the microwave using our Microwave “Baked” Potato recipe on Spend Smart. Eat Smart. We prefer smaller potatoes, so I microwave two or three at a time and it only takes six or seven minutes.
- This recipe is perfect for making one or two servings. I cook up the number of potatoes I need for the meal, and I use the extra toppings for meals later in the week. I have used the extras for quesadilla filling, toppings for a rice bowl, and toppings for scrambled eggs.
