Cheesy Broccoli Potato is packed full of nutrients, broccoli & cheese and can be eaten as a main course or a side dish.
I am a huge fan of broccoli cheese soup, but in the summer I don’t always like to eat hot soup. Cheesy Broccoli Potato is a close 2nd to broccoli cheese soup. You have the creaminess of the potato, topped with butter, broccoli and cheddar cheese. Put it in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and it’s ready to eat.
When I bake potatoes I like to do a bunch at a time. Aside from eating the baked potato like in this recipe, I also like them for my lunch, to make American Fries or twice baked potato or use them a baked potato soup.
Enjoy!
