These cheesy baked potatoes and BBQ Beans are just phenomenal! I made them cause I thought they would make for a hearty meal, but the taste floored me! The cheese was gooey, the beans were decadent, and the “bacon” bits and chives sealed the deal. They are the perfect go-to when I don't know what to make.

For the BBQ Black Beans Ingredients:

Preparation
For the Baked Potatoes:
- Position racks in middle and bottom thirds, then preheat your oven to 350F. Use a fork to poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spuds. Place potato directly onto the middle rack of the oven and position a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the skin feels crisp, but the flesh beneath feels soft. Cut a slit through the spud down towards the middle without cutting all the way through and fluff up the flesh with a fork
For the Cheesy Sauce:
- Add the sweet potatoes and remaining cheese ingredients to a blender, and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat while constantly stirring until you have a thick stretchy consistency.
For the BBQ Black Beans:
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add black beans and BBQ and simmer for 5 minutes while squishing some pieces with a fork.
Assembling:
- Put in a 1/4 cup of your BBQ Bean into your baked potato. Top off with your cheese sauce, chives, and "bacon" bits. Serve & enjoy!
