Green Chili Stuffed Baked Potato
Ingredients:
NM Green Chili, fresh roasted, peeled and chopped
8oz Bacon, chopped
(I know what your thinking, first 2 ingredients are NM green chili and bacon, does it matter what the rest of the ingredients are?)
1 Fresh Corn on the Cob
1/2 small onion
2 garlic cloves
grated mild cheddar cheese
chopped cilantro
2 large russet potatoes
Directions:
Open a beer, I chose Colorado Breckenridge Summer Bright Ale because damn, it is one tasty, refreshing beer for a warm late summer evening. I have been told that for some, wine is an acceptable substitute. I have no idea what they are talking about but whatever floats your boat.
Bake the potatoes
While potatoes are baking prepare the rest of the ingredients, chop bacon, peel and chop chili, cut fresh kernels off the cobb, chop onions and garlic, drink beer.
In a large skillet cook bacon making sure that you don't run out of beer. If your a sissy and actually care about your heart, drain excess bacon fat but definitely leave some.
Open another beer.
Add corn, onion and garlic and sauté on low heat for a minute or two. Add green chili last.
Put a potatoes on plates, cut down the middle and spoon 1/2 of the mixture onto each potato. Serve with beer, cheese and cilantro. Makes 2 servings if you have enough beer.
