This was quite good and filling too! The only thing that could have made it better was the "good" versions of the lower fat ingredients lol. This is a bit of work, but worth the effort. -
Great! I had a lot of stuffing and was able to fill 2 extra potatoes with the amount from the recipe. -
Most of these ww recipes need to be edited for points. The new ww smart points is different than what is being used on here

I hope you'll forgive me, I didnt realise it needed broccoli, I was just thinking Ham and Cheese, until it was too late. So I missed it out, and to be honest, didnt miss it all. Otherwise, I made as directed and we enjoyed this treat, husband was delighted as he loves potatoes and I dont so they dont feature on our table so often! Glad I tried these coz they were great, and since I bought a bag of potatoes, not difficult to do it again!!! Thanks Teresa, made for Consideration Tag Game Oh gosh, just realised with the photo, omitted the topping of sour cream!!!! next time :) -

I made my potatoes the night before using Recipe #259599. I used a bag of steamfresh broccoli and cooked that up in the microwave and then started with step 3. I used unsalted butter instead of margarine as I don't buy margarine. I also used minced onions instead of chopped so my kids wouldn't complain. We also didn't top ours with sour cream and I'm sure I used more cheese then the recipe called for as I just dumped it on as we love cheese. This was a good, different side dish. I also brought one for lunch and it heated up nicely in the microwave.
