Steps:
- To make the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Set the potatoes directly on the rack in the center of the oven and bake until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, make the chili: Preheat a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and salt, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ancho chile, oregano, cumin, coriander, and cloves and cook, stirring, until dark and fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the tomato paste and chipotle. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes while adding them to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until the chipotle and tomato mixture is dark red, about 2 minutes. Add the beef, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and beer and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Lay the potatoes on the side they naturally roll to, and carefully cut a shallow oval out of the tops to make 6 lids. Gently scrape most of the potato pulp out of the lids and transfer to a large bowl. Reserve the lids. Carefully scoop out the insides from only 4 of the potatoes into the large bowl, leaving the shells intact. Scoop out the pulp from the remaining 2 potatoes into a small bowl and reserve for another use. (See Cook's Note.) Add 1/2 cup of the cheese, butter, salt, and scallion to the large bowl of pulp and mash lightly with a fork. Season with pepper, to taste. Lightly season the insides of the shells and lids with salt and pepper. Refill them with the potato mixture, pressing it into the bottom and against the sides.
- Set the filled potatoes on a baking sheet and fill each to the brim with some of the chili, mounding as much as you can on top (you'll need the rest for later). Mound the remaining 3/4 cup cheese over the potatoes. Place the potato lids skin-side down on the baking sheet. Bake until heated through and the cheese has melted and browned, about 12 minutes. Reheat the remaining chili. Transfer the stuffed potatoes to a serving platter and top each with a dollop of sour cream. Lean the potato lids against the sour cream and serve immediately, with the chili on the side for refills.

- Meanwhile, saut&) beef in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat 4 minutes, breaking up meat with back of fork. Mix in chili powder, oregano and cinnamon.

Tips for Making the Best Baked Potatoes with Chili:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Select medium-sized, all-purpose potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold. They hold their shape well and become fluffy on the inside when baked.
- Scrub and Pierce the Potatoes: Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Pierce them with a fork several times to allow steam to escape during baking, ensuring a crispy skin.
- Microwave or Bake the Potatoes: You can either microwave the potatoes for a few minutes before baking or bake them directly in the oven. Microwaving helps reduce the baking time slightly.
- Use Good Quality Chili: Choose a flavorful and thick chili. You can use your favorite homemade chili or a store-bought one. If the chili is too watery, it will make the potatoes soggy.
- Add Toppings of Your Choice: Before serving, top the baked potatoes with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, or diced tomatoes.
Conclusion:
Baked potatoes with chili is a hearty, flavorful, and comforting dish perfect for a casual meal. Following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can easily create a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
