My "Inside Out" Baked Potato

Tonight for dinner I wanted something easy, but HOT and not a frozen dinner.  Last week when I went grocery shopping potatoes were on sale 2 for $1.  A girl on a budget can't beat that bargain!  I decided to do a twist on my mother's traditional baked potato.  Here's what you'll need:

1 medium potato
1 package of frozen broccoli
light sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese

First, bake the potato in the oven (for about an hour at 375) or if you're in a hurry you can speed things along by nooking it for a few minutes.  Once done, empty out potato from exterior skin onto a plate.  Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on the "just out of the oven" potato so the cheese melts while it is still hot!  Spread 2 Tbs light sour cream over the potato.  Then, spoon 1/2 cup broccoli over the entire thing.  Finally, mix er up!  In the end you should have a cross between a baked potato and a potato casserole.  Eat, and enjoy!  All for around 290 calories!  And very, very filling!
