Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned baked beans in tomato sauce
  • 1 large baking potato
  • 1 tbsp butter optional
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese chopped green onions, sour cream

Instructions

  • Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and allow it to heat up fully before baking.
  • Rinse the potato under running water to remove any dirt, and dry it thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Pierce the skin of the potato several times with a fork to prevent it from bursting during baking.
  • Place the prepared potato directly onto the middle oven rack or on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, checking occasionally by inserting a knife or skewer to ensure the interior is soft and fully cooked.
  • Empty the canned baked beans into a small saucepan. Warm them over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Let them gently simmer until they are evenly heated through.
  • Once the potato is out of the oven, place it on a serving plate. Use a knife to make a deep cut down the center and carefully press the ends together to slightly open it up. Add a dollop of butter, if desired, and season with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
  • Spoon the hot baked beans over the potato, ensuring the sauce seeps into the fluffy potato flesh.
  • For an added layer of flavor, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, scatter chopped green onions, or add a dollop of creamy sour cream.
  • Enjoy the baked potato while it’s still warm, paired with your favorite side dish or on its own for a simple and satisfying meal.
