Cheesy Broccoli Potatoes

Yumm! I decided to make this as a side dish to go with chicken fajitas (see previous post). WAAAAY too easy to make and is microwaved in only 4 minutes! I mean, common. Look at that ingredient list and you'll realize how easy this is

The Recipe:
potato
broccoli
cheese sauce

1. Clean potato

2. Make a slice (I kind of just cut out a apple slice style of a chunk)

3. I place the potato in a microwavable bowl (so that I didn't loose broccoli or cheese)

4. Top with pieces of broccoli

5. (this is where it depends on your cheese sauce) You can either make the cheese sauce on the stove top like I did or you can totally just put cheese straight on the potato

6. Microwave potato for 4 minutes on high (if stove top cheese sauce, put cheese sauce AFTER you cook the potato and broccoli)

7. Serve and enjoy


My Experience:
So like I mentioned in the recipe part, I just made a stove top cheese sauce (like that powder crap you add water to). The actually recipe in the Campbell's Cookbook says to use cream of cheese soup? But I totally couldn't find it in the grocery store so improvised.

This side dish is super easy. Just popped it in the microwave while I was preparing the main course. Will totally be making these potatoes again but next time I will try to make the cheese sauce with real cheese melted with milk. We'll see how that turns out!
