Ever since I was a young girl I’ve loved broccoli cheese potatoes. I mean who doesn’t? They taste amazing! Baked potatoes are a breeze to make and this broccoli cheese sauce is too. Then if you make it with my slow cooker potatoes you can have dinner ready about 15 minutes after getting home from work! The ingredients and instructions are so simple that anyone can make or help with this potato recipe. My kind of easy dinner, plus even your kids will love it!
Baked Potatoes with Broccoli Cheese Sauce
The key to a loaded baked potato is to use large russet potatoes and be sure they’re fork-tender. You should be able to easily mash the potato flesh without too much muscle. I also urge you to use a good sharp cheddar cheese and skip pre-shredded cheese if you can. Sharp cheddar that you shred yourself will have a much more vibrant flavor. Need a little more spice? Sprinkle a little cayenne pepper into your cheese and broccoli filling. If you want a more hearty meal this would be great served with grilled or baked chicken or just some fresh baked bread is always good in my book.
