Carb Heaven!
Just to prove that I don't live on lettuce alone (I think my picture proves that too!!) here's a classic British recipe for those days when a) you really don't feel like cooking and b)you really need some gooey cheese and some fluffy baked potato.
As usual, it's a quick & easy dish and really has no recipe.
Baked Spud (Potato) with Beans & Cheese
1 large baking spud per person washed and wrapped in a paper towel
Baked beans (I like Heinz vegetarian ones)
Grated sharp cheddar
Bung the spud(s) in the microwave for about 10-15 minutes until they yield when squished.
Then throw in the toaster oven/oven at 375F until the skin crips up.
Then, nuke some beans.
Assemble thus so: place spud on plate, cut a cross in the top and open up.
Add some light butter or margarine if you feel it necessary (I did)!
Fill with beans then top with grated cheese.
Broil or nuke again until cheese melts.........
Sit down and enjoy.....
(If you eat the skin too, you get extra fiber in addition to that from the beans).
Serve with a side salad if you are feeling particularly healthy.....
