Twice Baked Potatoes and Broccoli

Creamy, bacony, cheesy potatoes with the easiest broccoli you'll ever enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 3 potatoes I used Russet
  • 4 strips bacon chopped
  • 6 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 2 crowns broccoli
  • 1 tbsp light tasting oil
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese or more if you prefer!, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
  • Start cooking your bacon, turning occasionally. You want it crispy.
  • Wash potatoes, pat dry and pierce several times with a fork
  • Microwave potatoes for five minutes, flip them over and then microwave another 5 minutes
  • While the potatoes cool, wash and trim broccoli. Toss with oil, salt and pepper in medium size bowl and spread out on a foil lined baking sheet.
  • When your bacon is cooked, set it aside on paper towel and then chop it up
  • Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise
  • Scoop out the inside of the potato, adding it to a medium size bowl. Set the skins aside, seasoning the inside with salt, pepper and a pinch of cheddar
  • In the medium bowl, add salt and pepper (to taste), Greek yogurt, garlic, half the amount of chopped bacon and half of the green onion
  • Stir well to combine
  • Fill each potato skin with the potato mixture. You can fill them as full as you want
  • If you want to do this as a breakfast for supper, make a well on top of each potato and crack an egg inside
  • Sprinkle the remaining bacon and green onion on top of each potato and top with cheddar
  • Arrange the potatoes on the same baking sheet as the broccoli
  • Bake in the oven for 15 minutes
