For dinner last night, Robbie and I had these broccoli cheddar stuffed potatoes.

While we ate these as a main course (with salad), these would be the perfect way to sneak some veggies into dinner time.

No one will even care – they taste too delicious for broccoli haters to even notice.

I used frozen broccoli, but you can use fresh or frozen.

I also used freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese – I do recommend grating it yourself instead of the pre shredded stuff.

The flavor is just so much more intense and WAY better than the other stuff.

This recipe is very simple, almost more of a use what you have kind of situation.

The result is these broccoli cheddar stuffed potatoes – straight up comfort food.

Ultra creamy, cheesy, and filling. I guarantee you’ll love them!
