    4 servings | Active Time: 30 minutes |
    Total Time: 40 minutes
    Ingredients
    4 medium russet potatoes
    8 ounces 90%-lean ground beef,
    1 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
    1 cup water
    1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar
    cheese, divided
    1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    3 scallions, sliced
    Preparation
    1. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork.
    Place in the microwave and cook on
    Medium, turning once or twice, until the
    potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. (Or
    use the “potato setting” on your
    microwave and cook according to the
    manufacturer’s directions.)
    2. Meanwhile, brown meat in a large
    skillet over medium-high heat, stirring
    often, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a
    large bowl. Increase heat to high, add
    broccoli and water to the pan, cover,
    and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
    Drain the broccoli; add to the meat.
    3. Carefully cut off the top third of the
    cooked potatoes; reserve the tops for
    another use. Scoop out the insides into
    a medium bowl. Place the potato shells
    in a small baking dish. Add 1/2 cup
    Cheddar, sour cream, salt and pepper
    to the potato insides and mash with a
    fork or potato masher. Add scallions
    and the potato mixture to the broccoli
    and meat; stir to combine.
    4. Evenly divide the potato mixture among
    the potato shells and top with the
    remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Microwave
    on High until the filling is hot and the
    cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
    Tips & Notes
    Make Ahead Tip: Prepare and stuff
    potatoes. Cover and refrigerate for up
    to 2 days. Microwave and serve.
    Vegetarian variation: Replace the
    ground beef with a soy-based substitute
    or omit the beef altogether and
    increase the broccoli to 1 1/2 cups and
    the cheese to 1 1/4 cups.

    I steam a head of chopped cauliflower in a steam bag then I divide into 4 huge servings .
    Each serving into a small baking dish. I then top it as I would a baked potato.

    Ideas,
    Brocolli
    Cheese
    Bacon

    If you mix in a tsp of cream cheese into each serving it creams it up

    I pop them in the oven till they are all melted and brown a little
    then I take it out and top it with chives and reduced fat sour cream
    and maybe a little more cheese.

    I really love this and don't miss the carbs in the potatoes at all.
