Crock-Pot Three Bean Chili Baked Potatoes

Crock-Pot Three Bean Chili Baked Potatoes

FUN FACT- My Dad used to call me spud as a kid. As a family, we had a favorite restaurant in town (New Berlin Family Restaurant <— I grew up in New Berlin, WI) and I would order (I kid you not):

• A Baked Potato
• Hash Browns
• And steal my sisters fries

I am thinking about changing all of my social media handles to FitFoodie_Spud. I wonder if they are taken

The day I learned POTATOES WERE BAD FOR YOU was like the worst day ever. Then I did some researched and realized, okay they aren’t THAT bad. It’s really what you do with them and what you top them with.

Insert —> Crock-Pot Turkey Chili.

Guys.

Top your taters with something protein and fiber-filled and it will cancel out the starchiness of the potato. Uh…I think.

That’s what I do at least! I also top it with some plain Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of low fat cheese, avocado and about a cup of salsa (not pictured). 

You could also do this with sweet potatoes if that is your jam. I had to go classic this time, because a good baked potato every once in a while never did any harm!

Plus- Blake prefers normal potatoes over sweet…I think.

Normal Potatoes vs. Sweet Potato. What is your jam?

PS: I am out of the country for the next week! I left yesterday for Nelson, BC Canada to spend a week at the Mountain Trek Resort. So just take this as my Out of Office Response for the next 7 days.
