Jacket potato, beans and cheese

Cheese first is good as the cheese goes all melty!

I'm not really fussed but given the choice would have cheese first and beans on top.

I don't eat jacket potatoes - can't stand them - but, to me, it makes sense to do it this way, as all the cheese will melt into the potato and be all gooey and yummy.

I had this for tea Tuesday, I spinkle cheese straight onto the jacket (after buttering of course) so that it goes all melty, then put the beans on.

I put half the cheese in first to melt in the potato and then a load more on top of the beans

Defo cheese first.

As an aside, I have had jacket potato and beans for lunch every day this week! No butter and no cheese.... *is being good... ish!*

Looks like you're the weird one Flow ?

As an aside, have you tried roast sweet potato *looks at our tickers*? Our group leader in SW used to recommend it but I thought it'd surely taste odd with beans and cheese!

hah yes, i told Mr F yesterday that Pickles was the size of a sweet potato, his reply was 'is it now wrong i really fancy eating one?!' I had to question whether he meant a baby or potato ?

Ahh the Slimming World staple!

I'm with you Flow - beans then cheese.

Although the lady behind the counter did ask me yesterday what order I would like them in - beans first or cheese first.

It had never occurred to me before yesterday to have cheese first.

Cheese, beans then more cheese.

Flow, you're odd.

Beans then the cheese on top... also what I had a for lunch today, the jacket potato was like the size of my head thou... stuffed!!!

I wouldn't say weird. I've had jacket spuds like that before and the cheese melts into the spud, it's lovely.

Argh, I want a jacket with cheese and beans now and I can't as I'm on this stupid "no chewing" diet from the Dentist ? I'm sooo sick of soup!

I must be in the weird camp as I also have beans then cheese, cheese unless on toast or in a sandwich is used for sprinking on top of .... no? spag bal, garlic bread, chilli, any other pastery dish, fajitas... and much more.

No Flow you are right beans then cheese, same applies for beans and cheese on toast, always cheese second.

exactly this Claire!!

Cheese THEN beans. Everytime. Got very mardy with the lady in the canteen when she did it the other way round... ?

Indeedy do!!! And lots of it. So much so it goes all stringy and you have to keep winding it around your fork to get all the cheese on and in your gob!

Definately beans and then cheese, I don't like it when the cheese goes too melty!

I'm with you flow, beans then cheese! One place near me then tries to stick it back into the microwave to melt the cheese... this is just all wrong! You then cant mix the beans and cheese up as it is all gooey and melted to the outside of the skin!

Snap!

No way, has to be cheese first then beans. This is actually what we had for tea last night, would get very annoyed if someone did it the other way round.

Beans then cheese. It's the only way.

Great, now I really fancy JP with cheese and beans!

I honestly never knew this was such a controversial subject ?

I think this sums it up. It depends if you are a 'sprinker' or a 'stuffer.'

I would happily stuff my jacket with cheese and top with beans, but if I'm trying to be good I stuff with beans and finish with a light sprinkling of cheese!

I'm really surprised by how many people have cheese first, then beans!

I have never seen it done this way. Not saying it's wrong - I can see the sense in it (although I'm not sure I'd convert) but it's a whole new concept to me!

I used to do beans then cheese on top, but in the last few months when we've had it for tea OH has taken all the potato out the skins, mixed the cheese in, put it back in the skins, put beans on top and then sprinkled with cheese.

That's too much effort for me so he does that and I do mine with cheese, beans then more cheese.

See I feel the same, but the other way around! I never would have though people would put beans first, you have to put the cheese first so the beans help to melt it.

I'm with Flow, beans first then cheese sprinkled on top, I'd never thought to do it the other way round.

I'm very glad I haven't been able to get on hitched all day or else I'd have wanted this for lunch, and the caff downstairs is v expensive for JPs!

Im deffo, cheese, beans, then cheese kind of girl. And I think I may now have this for my dinner!

I can't stand beans touching any other food so I have jacket with butter and cheese and then the beans in a separate pot on the side. Perfect solution ?

Cheese before beans, always...love how it makes the cheese melt!

Inspired by this thread, we are now having JP, beans and cheese for tea tonight...
