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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and prick them several times with a fork.
  3. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. If using fresh broccoli, steam or boil the florets until tender (about 5-7 minutes). If using frozen, microwave according to package instructions.
  5. Once cooked, chop the broccoli into small pieces.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Spoon the cheesy broccoli mixture into each potato half, packing it in generously. Top with additional shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm.

Notes
