This made for a perfect after church meal. Quick and easy…well, only if you bake the potatoes before you leave for church! Leftovers tonight.

- Steam broccoli for 3-5 minutes in steamer.

How funny! We are doing a baked potato bar tonight for our church home group! Complete with broccoli & cheese, chili, butter, sour cream, ham and bacon! Hope we both have awesome potatoes!

My Kroger had bacon BOGO this week–I would have added some of that to give it a bit more protein. Looks yummy!
Aleta says
broccoli is a bit more expensive here in Oregon: about $1.79 a pound.But this does look yummy.

From Aliisa:
Just wanted to let you know that when buying a pineapple, if you just pull on one leaf gently and it comes out…the pineapple is perfect to buy.
My MIL taught me that and it works every time!!

I’ve been browsing your site to take a $5 Dinner/Pantry Challenge this week! Thanks so much for all the great ideas…..I’ve also done Sweet Potatoes w/ steamed broccoli and cheese!

I like to add diced tomatoes to my potatoes. I prefer roma because they squeeze out a little bit easier and have a firm skin. Now I want this for dinner 🙂
