   • Cut pre-baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out potato leaving about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in skin.

2. Preheat Oven or Microwave:

   • Lay the potato halves out on a baking sheet with the scooped out sides facing up. (Or if microwaving, place on a microwave-safe plate).

3. Season Potatoes:

   • Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon each of chili powder and garlic powder over each potato.
   • Salt and pepper to taste.

4. Add Fillings:

   • Crumble one slice of bacon inside each (But this is also delicious without the bacon!) and fill with about 1-2 tablespoons of black beans.
   • Sort of press down so it doesn’t all fall out.

5. Top with Cheese:

   • Top each stuffed potato half with shredded cheddar cheese.

6. Cook:

   • If baking, preheat the oven to 475°F and bake until the cheese has melted.
   • If microwaving, heat on high for about 1 minute or until the cheese melts.

7. Serve:

   • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and salsa on top.
