Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Baked Potatoes

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425u00b0F. Lightly grease a medium baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Rub potato with olive oil, coating all sides, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place onto prepared baking pan. Prick potato several times with a fork on each side. Bake for about 50-55 minutes, or until potatoes are soft when squeezed. Remove from oven and allow to cook for several minutes.

3. 3

   If using the pre-cut broccoli florets, steam in bag according to package directions. Remove from package after microwaving and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. If using broccoli florets from a head of broccoli, prepare broccoli while potato is baking. Fill a medium pot with about 1/4 cup of water and bring to a boil. Place a steam over pot, add broccoli and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Remove from steamer and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

4. 4

   Once potatoes have cooled, cut a slit down the center and pinch ends to make a wide opening. Add broccoli to inside of the potato, then top with shredded cheese. Return to the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until cheese has melted.

   Serve immediately. Enjoy!
