Mmmmmm. Simple, but oh so good! These cheesy broccoli baked potatoes remind me of the wonderful potatoes at Hog’s Breath Eatery, in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I used to eat at Hog’s Breath regularly. Man, did they have great baked potatoes. Sadly, the Hog’s Breath Eatery has closed. That means I have to make more baked potatoes like this one at home. I used to save up my cravings for the next time I’d go to Fayetteville. Now I can make them any time.
Nice ‘n Cheesy
I used my homemade cheese sauce on these delicious cheesy broccoli baked potatoes. You can use your own or pre-made if you like, but my version is so easy to make. Just don’t be shy with it. The first word in the title of this recipe is ‘cheesy’!
Also try my cheesy mushroom baked potatoes, my mushroom and onion baked potatoes, and my take on the Hog’s Breath classic baked potato, The Works.
