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!
