Cheesy Ham Stuffed Potatoes with Three Bean Salad

This quick little meal can be ready in about 15 minutes. It’s perfect for those busy weeknights.

Ingredients:
4 russet potatoes for baking
1 cup of chopped ham
2 tablespoons butter
¼ to ½ cup milk
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Salt and pepper to taste
½ head of iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 can (13 ounces) three bean salad

Preparation:
Scrub the potatoes and poke a few holes in each one with a fork.
Place the potatoes in the microwave and cover with a moist paper towel. The paper towel will keep them from drying out.
Microwave for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork tender.
While they cook, chop the lettuce and place in a bowl. Toss with the three bean salad.
When the potatoes are done, cut them in half and scoop out the inside.
Mix with the butter, milk, chives, and ham, mashing the potatoes.
Place the mashed potato mixture back in the shell.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.
Place under the broiler for 30 seconds to one minute, just until browned.
Serve piping hot alongside the salad.
