Potato Casserole

1 lb ground beef, cooked
4 small baked potatoes, skins on - about 4 oz size
1/2 lb frozen broccoli
1 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 TBSP whole wheat flour
1 TBSP margarine

Heat broccoli in pan on stove, just till water boils. Remove from heat and drain.

Melt margarine in pot on stove. Remove from heat and add flour, stir till blended. Add milk, a little at a time, blending smooth as you go. Return to heat, and cook until sauce is thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.

Dice potatoes into 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes. Layer into an 8X8 baking dish or casserole dish. Sprinkle ground beef on top, then layer on the broccoli. Pour cheese sauce over the top. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese over top if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, or till heated through and bubbly. Makes 4 servings (one per potato).

Variations: Add diced, cooked onions, or other veggies, or use diced chicken or turkey instead of beef. Sauce may be used for mac and cheese along with whole wheat noodles. You may also use Cheese Blend (sold by Adventure Tech-Web) as a quick alternative to making cheese sauce from scratch - whole wheat is healthier though.
