How to make the perfect jacket potato

What exactly is a jacket potato you ask? In a nutshell, it's the English version of a loaded baked potato. A crispy outer shell or jacket and fluffy interior, combined with cheese, beans and all the fixings make for the perfect comfort food. It takes about 5 mins to get everything ready and then you can let your oven do all the work. Give this hearty comfort food a try the next time you have a hankering for a potato.

Serves - 2
Ingredients:
2 Russet Potatoes
2 tbs Butter
1 can Heinz Beans
Grated White English Cheddar Cheese
Bacon Bits
Chives (chopped)
Directions:
1. Waah/scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt.
2. Slice the length and then across the width of the potatoes about 1/4" deep
3. Place the potatoes directly on the rack in a 425 F or 220 C oven and bake for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until the skin is crispy.
4. About 20-30 mins before the potatoes finish, place the beans in a small pan and heat over low until hot.
5. Carefully open the potatoes by squeezing from the corners and place a pat of butter inside and mix it in.
6. Top with some of the grated cheese and bacon bits, then scoop 2-3 Spoonfuls of the beans over the top.
7. Finish them off with more grated cheese, some bacon bits and chopped fresh chives for some color.
*Notes*
We typically get the beans at Cost Plus but have also found them at our local grocery store. They can also be ordered from Amazon (what can't these days?) -
