Cheesy Baked Beans in Baked Potatoes

Jewelies's Note:

Being a Kiwi my favourte baked beans are Watties! Cabanossi can be used instead of salami. For anyone that doesn't know Cabanossi is a type of dry sausage, similar to a very mild salami. It is made from pork and beef, lightly seasoned and then smoked. It is commonly cut into bite sized chunks and eaten cold as an appetiser or snack, often with cubes of cheese and crackers. Sliced cabanossi is also a popular pizza topping.

Made this for the DM as a light dinner and as she does not like spicy I used ham in place of the salami and used Quick Boston Baked Beans, I used 2 medium potatoes and baked them in the oven as I already had it on and scooped as much of the potatoe out as possible as I knew the DM would not eat the skins and she thoroughly enjoyed.
