Makes 4 servings
- 4 medium baking potatoes
- 2 cups sloppy joe sauce, thawed if frozen or 1 can (15-16 ounces) chili

- Sour cream, if desired
- Bacon bits, if desired

1. Pierce potatoes with sharp knife. Arrange potatoes in spoke pattern with narrow ends in center on microwavable paper towel in microwave oven. Microwave on High 12 to 14 minutes, turning once, until tender. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
2. Cut slit in each potato two-thirds of the way to bottom; gently press ends together to create a “well.” Place potatoes on microwavable plate. Top potatoes with Sloppy Joes and cheese. Microwave 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with remaining ingredients as toppings.
