Loaded Mashed Potato Bowls
Description
This recipe builds bowls starting with a base of mashed potatoes topped with thawed or warmed corn kernels and black beans tossed with chili powder for a subtle spicy seasoning. Cheddar cheese adds a rich, melted texture when combined with warm ingredients, while BBQ sauce offers tangy, smoky notes. Sliced green onions contribute freshness and mild crunch, and jalapeño slices introduce optional heat.
The dish involves layering these components for varied textures—creamy potatoes, tender beans and corn, melted cheese, and crisp garnishes. It can be served immediately or stored and reheated, making it practical for leftovers.
The use of fire-roasted frozen corn kernels can enhance the smoky flavor, and mild chili powder keeps the heat moderate. To reheat, simply microwave until heated through and cheese is melted, maintaining the comforting texture of the dish.
Ingredients
- 6 cups mashed potatoes $2.17, prepared
- 2 cups corn kernels $1.49, frozen
- 1 oz. can black beans $0.79, canned
- 1/2 tsp chili powder $0.10
- 4 oz. cheddar cheese $1.00, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce $0.68
- 2 green onion $0.22, sliced
- 1 jalapeño $0.33, thinly sliced, optional
Instructions
- Allow the corn kernels to thaw, or heat them through if you plan to eat the bowls immediately. Rinse and drain the black beans, then add them to a bowl along with the chili powder and stir until the beans are coated.
- To build the bowls, place about 1.5 cups mashed potatoes in each bowl, then top with about 1/2 cup corn kernels, 1/3 cup black beans, about 1/4 cup shredded cheddar, 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions and jalapeño.
- Serve the bowls immediately, or refrigerate until ready to eat. To reheat, simply microwave until the mashed potatoes are hot and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Using fire-roasted frozen corn kernels adds a smoky flavor to the dish.
- The chili powder is a mild, earthy blend, not a hot red chile powder.
- The bowls can be served immediately or refrigerated and reheated by microwaving until hot and cheese melts.
