Description

Basic baked potatoes topped with a “white” cheese sauce and cooked broccoli. A sure winner for a one-dish cool weather meal or a delicious side! This sauce also works great on veggies for kids. I grew up with my mom making this recipe with Velveeta cheese. I’m partial to the Velveeta, but this recipe is delicious using cheddar or Monterey jack, too!

Ingredients

  • 1 package Frozen Broccoli Florets
  • 4 whole Potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups Milk Or Half-and-Half
  • 3 cups Cheese, Cut Into 1-Inch Cubes (Velveeta, Monterey Jack, Or Cheddar)
  • Worcestershire Sauce (optional)

Preparation

Cook frozen broccoli according to package directions.

Wash and prick each potato 2 to 3 times with a fork. Wrap individually in aluminum foil. Bake at 400 F for 90 minutes.

To prepare the basic white sauce, in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, melt butter. Add in flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add in milk or half-and-half, stirring constantly with a whisk until smooth.

Raise heat to medium. Add in cubed cheese and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until all cheese is melted and the sauce is heated through.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Optional: for a kick, add a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce.)

Cut open potatoes and spoon on cooked broccoli and generous amounts of cheese sauce. Enjoy!
