Broccoli and Cheddar Stuffed Baked Potato
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 2 cups of broccoli florets
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- While the potatoes are baking, steam the broccoli until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit lengthwise across the top of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open.
- Fluff the insides of the potatoes with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the steamed broccoli evenly among the potatoes, then top each with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
- Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
