Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare the potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towels. Prick each potato several times with a fork. Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Bake the potatoes
Place potatoes directly on the middle oven rack. Bake for 50-60 minutes until skin is crisp and flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.
Prepare the onion and garlic
Peel and dice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic.
Start the chili
In a large skillet or pot, cook ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add aromatics
Add diced onion to the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add seasonings
Add all seasonings to the meat mixture. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add tomatoes and beans
Add canned tomatoes with their juice. Drain and rinse kidney beans, then add to the pot. Stir to combine.
Simmer the chili
Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If chili becomes too thick, add a little water.
Prepare the cheese and chives
Grate the cheese if not already shredded. Wash and finely chop the chives.
Check chili seasoning
Taste the chili and adjust seasoning if needed.
Prepare the potatoes for serving
When potatoes are done, remove from oven. Cut a slit lengthwise across the top of each potato. Gently squeeze the ends to open up the potato. Fluff the inside with a fork.
Assemble and serve
Spoon hot chili over each potato. Top with grated cheese. Sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve immediately while hot.
