What do you do with leftovers? Last week I shared Crock Pot Chili with you and it was such a delicious recipe. But it did make quite a bit for just three people. The perfect recipe to use for leftover chili is Chili Baked Potatoes. My family loves these and I know yours will too!
I thought maybe we could have the leftovers in a different way instead of just reheating the chili. So the other night we had Chili Baked Potatoes and they were really good!
Chili Baked Potatoes
The perfect way to enjoy leftovers is to create a new meal with them!
I know for some people the thought of eating leftovers isn't something you like to do. Or maybe you just send the leftovers with your hubby to work the next day. I've been trying really hard to come up with different meals with leftovers...especially since it is just my hubby and I here at home now.
The other night we had chili for dinner. It was delicious, but it made a lot. So for dinner tonight I made a few baked potatoes and then reheated the chili and added it on top of the baked potatoes. Of course I needed to add cheddar cheese and sour cream on top as well. We had an amazing dinner!

Oh My Goodness. You've got me salivating now. This is my favorite meal of all. I could eat chili potatotes every day for dinner. Sometimes I cook my kids something "gross" like Macaroni and Cheese so mom can have a 'real" dinner of Chili potatoes. I'm so bad. But I LOVE potatoes and i LOVE chili, so put the two together and you have the perfect dinner! Thanks...now I know what we are having for dinner tonight.
