Description
Cheesy Broccoli Stuffed Potatoes are baked potatoes filled with a creamy broccoli and cheese mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and prick them several times with a fork.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- If using fresh broccoli, steam or boil the florets until tender (about 5-7 minutes). If using frozen, microwave according to package instructions.
- Once cooked, chop the broccoli into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out a portion of the flesh.
- Spoon the cheesy broccoli mixture into each potato half, packing it in generously. Top with additional shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese based on your preference.
- You can use other types of cheese for variation.
