Step 1

Scrub the potatoes and pierce each one several times with a fork. Place the potatoes in the microwave and cook for 15-16 minutes, until tender. (Squeeze them with a kitchen towel or oven mitt. If the potato gives without resistance and starts to open up, it's ready. If it still seems a bit firm, microwave them for another minute at a time until tender.)

Step 2

Meanwhile, reheat your chili in a pot on the stove over medium heat, until warmed through.

Step 3

Cut a slit across the top of each potato and fluff the insides with a fork, pulling the potato away from the sides. Season the potatoes lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Add a heaping cup of warmed chili to each potato.

Step 5

Serve hot, loaded up with desired toppings, and enjoy!
