Ingredients

3 medium Russet potatoes

2 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1 cup milk

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar

1 cup chopped steamed broccoli florets

Directions

Heat to 400 degrees. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place potatoes in oven and bake until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

In a small or medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Add onion powder, garlic powder and flour and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minutes. While whisking pour in milk, season with salt and pepper to taste and allow mixture to cook, stirring constantly, until it boil and mixture has thickened. Reduce to warm heat and stir in cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese has melted then stir in steamed broccoli. Serve warm over potatoes. *You can cook the broccoli any way you prefer, you can cook in a little water in a saucepan covered with a lid, in the microwave with water or steam which is the way I prefer. Just drain it well if cooking in water.
