MEAL-IN-A-POTATO








Meal-In-A-Potato:

1 large russet potato
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup reduced calorie margarine
1/2 cup shredded reduced fat-free cheese
1 Tbsp. chopped chives
Pinch of salt (if desired)
Pinch of black pepper
1/2 cup canned black beans
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese


HOW:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Scrub potato, then poke a few holes in each with a fork. Place potato on the center rack of the oven and bake for one hour. Cool for 10 minutes. Slit potato top and scoop out the insides into a medium bowl, leaving the skin intact. Add milk, margarine, cheese and chives to the bowl and mash with a fork. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Stuff potato skin with filling, place on a non-stick baking sheet and return back to the oven to heat for 5-10 minutes. When that's finished, remove from oven and place beans and cottage cheese on top.
