Crumble one slice of bacon inside each (But this is also delicious without the bacon!)and fill with about 1-2 tablespoons of black beans.

You can microwave the potatoes to do the initial cooking. Halve them and remove all of the flesh, leaving the shell. Add whatever fillings and cheeses you choose and heat ina conventional oven until the cheese is melted and the skins begin to crisp.
