There are certain recipes I come across that almost immediately bring back memories from childhood and these White Cheddar Broccoli Stuffed Baked Potatoes did exactly that! I haven’t had a stuffed potato in years and can I tell you- these are WAY better then any I’ve had. Simple to make, can really be an entire meal in and of itself or a great side dish. Absolutely delicious! 

Happy Friday my friends! How drool worthy are these White Cheddar Broccoli Stuffed Baked Potatoes?!?!  Today is our Freaky Friday Fall Edition Recipe Swap and I am so excited to share this recipe with you! A bunch of my fabulously talented blogger friends and I get assigned a blog to choose a recipe from then create and share with our readers. We don’t find out who we’ve been assigned until today! Me, I was assigned the incredibly talented, Brandi from Aunt Bee’s Recipes.

Michaela from An Affair From The Heart is so amazing for organizing this whole event and I am so appreciative to be a part of it. When she told me I was assigned Brandi of Aunt Bee’s Recipes I did a little happy dance.   I absolutely LOVE her blog and all her amazing recipes that she shares! In my opinion, Aunt Bee is the Queen of comforting casseroles! You’ve got to head over to check out her Chicken, Bacon Ranch Hash Brown Casserole, Meatball Sub Casserole and her Tamale Pie! Among all her recipes she’s got an incredible collection of Instant Pot recipes too; like her IP Sicilian Meat Sauce, IP Crack Chicken {HUGELY POPULAR!!} and IP Vegetable Beef Soup.

So what drew me to these White Cheddar Broccoli Stuffed Baked Potatoes besides that they are super nostalgic to me? The simplicity is a huge part and I knew my family was going to LOVE them!! Also they are easily portable to hockey practice- because these days we live at the rink 6 days a week and I need simple! These potatoes are properly baked in the oven {because lets be honest, a microwaved potato just doesn’t taste the same at all} seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Four nice sized russet potatoes get placed onto a baking sheet, seasoned and baked at 400 degrees for about an hour until fork tender. The skin gets that incredible flavor that only comes from oven baking potatoes and the inside is light and fluffy. While the potatoes are baking you can make the super easy, cheesy, delicious white cheddar broccoli and bacon sauce! HEAVEN!!

The sauce starts with a simple roux- butter and flour. Stir in milk and once thickened add in shredded sharp white cheddar, cooked broccoli and crisp bacon. It comes together super quick and easily and the taste is amazing! Creamy, salty goodness- and really what better combo then broccoli and cheese?!

Carefully cut into the potatoes and squeeze the ends to open them up. Top each potato with a good helping of the white cheddar broccoli bacon sauce. To finish sprinkle a little extra cheese and bacon on top. Pop back in the oven until golden.
