Comfort food does not have to make you feel guilty. Case in point: this Chili Stuffed Potato Skins recipe, which was dreamt up by Cook at Home Mom creator Laura Miner. What makes this Game Day staple such a better-for-you option? In addition to it including Whole30® compliant ingredients, such as Vital Proteins Beef Bone Broth Collagen, this recipe can be tweaked for those following a low-carb or keto diet. “Serve in grilled zucchini boats instead of potato skins and top with shredded cheddar cheese and full fat sour cream,” Miner tells Lively.

Whole30® Chili Stuffed Potato Skins
Chili Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ½ lb. mild Italian sausage
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 scoops Vital Proteins Beef Bone Broth Collagen
- 2 cans diced tomatoes
- 1.5 T chili powder
- 1 T cumin
- ½ t garlic powder
- 1 t salt
- ½ t black pepper

Potato Skin Ingredients:
- 6 medium russet potatoes
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 t sea salt
Optional Toppings:
- Paleo sour cream
- Sugar-free pickled onions
- Cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
Directions:
- Dice the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
- Add in the ground beef and sausage. Cook it all together for 5-7 minutes, mixing and breaking the meat apart.
- Add the tomatoes, seasonings, and Bone Broth Collagen. Bring the chili to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 45-50 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash and dry potatoes, then poke the skins a few times with a fork.
- Lay them on a baking sheet, then drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle a little sea salt on top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and wait until at least they’re cool enough to handle. Don’t turn the oven off.
- Cut each potato in half longways. Using a spoon, remove most of the insides and set it aside.
- Spray or rub a little oil on the flesh side of each potato and return them to the oven for another 10 minutes until they’re super crispy.
- Spoon the chili into the potato skins, add toppings and enjoy!
