Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatos
• 8 ounces lean beef
• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli florets
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black ground pepper
• 3 whole scallions, sliced

Directions

1. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork.

2. Place in the microwave and cook on medium, turning once or twice, until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.

3. Brown meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

4. Increase heat to high, add broccoli and water to the pan, cover, and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

5. Drain the broccoli; add to the meat.

6. 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.

7. Add 1/2 cup Cheddar, sour cream, salt and pepper to the potato insides and mash with a fork or potato masher.

8. Add scallions and the potato mixture to the broccoli and meat; stir to combine.

9. Evenly divide the potato mixture among the potato shells and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

10. Microwave on High until the filling is hot and the cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
