Haven't done this in a long time - and this one is different from our previous potato bars because it's got last night's chili in it! Potato bar is SO versatile, and something we should do more often. The health factor in this dish is in appropriately choosing your potato. A serving of potato for you is about the size of your fist. What's right for you is not right for your spouse...choose wisely. Also, don't dump the bag of cheese onto your potato... it needs a sprinkle, not a bath!
4 medium potatoes
2-3 cups left over white chili from last night
16 ounces frozen broccoli (12 will do if that's what size bag you have)
shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese
microwave potato until soft - about 7 minutes for one - probably 15 minutes for all four. You can open the microwave and touch your potato - it should be slightly soft when you sqeeze it. When the potatoes are done, remove them to a plate and cover with an inverted serving bowl to lock in the moisture. Very important step!!!
warm the chili and the broccoli together either in the microwave or stove top.
Next cut the potato lengthwise, top with the chili mix, then sprinkle with cheese.
