Ingredients
- 1 large baking potato (about 250g)
- 1/2 x 400g tin baked beans
- 40g cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Prick the potato all over with a fork and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until soft all the way through.
- Meanwhile, heat the baked beans in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until piping hot.
- Cut a cross in the top of the cooked potato and squeeze the sides to open it up. Add the butter and season with salt and pepper.
- Top with the hot beans and grated cheese, and leave for a minute so the cheese melts before serving.
