Broccoli and Cheese Sauce

The other day I was craving a baked potato with broccoli cheese sauce.  I didn’t have a recipe for a sauce.  I wanted something that was really thick and creamy.  I also wanted something quick and simple.  I found a recipe on cooks.com and went with that adapting it slightly.  It was perfect.  Baked potatoes are such a staple.  The number of  ways you can top them are endless.  If broccoli cheese doesn’t strike your fancy, I have a whole list of other ideas to top your spud with  HERE.

Broccoli Cheese Sauce (for baked potatoes)

• 1 (12 oz) pkg. Green Giant Steamers broccoli florets or equal amount of cooked broccoli
• 1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cheddar cheese soup
• 2 Tbsp. sour cream (I used reduced fat)

1. Cook the broccoli according to package directions.
2. In the mean time, heat soup and sour cream in a sauce pan over medium heat.
3. Drain broccoli and add to soup mixture.
4. Heat until warm and serve over baked potatoes.  Serves 4.
