This is my go-to meal when we are hungry and want something filling to eat. Love to make this for dinner with just a small green salad on the side, or if you eat meat, you could add chicken breast on the side. It is very good!

How To Make baked potatoes topped with spicy vegetable stew

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce potatoes with the tines of a fork and bake until tender, about 1 hour.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, carrot, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften; about 10 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Stir in chili powder and cumin. Add tomatoes, broth, and beans. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add yellow squash and zucchini. Cover and simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 5
    To serve, split baked potatoes and mash their pulp slightly. Spoon vegetable stew into center.
