I stole this idea from Tracy – Thank you Tracy!!

Preheat oven to 400.

While oven is heating clean potatoes and chop into bite sized chunks.  Put potatoes in a dish and cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until cooked to desired tenderness.  If you prefer you can use whole potatoes (poke with holes! And cook for an hour)

While potatoes are cookie microwave broccoli in a bowl covered with plastic wrap (this will keep the moisture in for a more “steamed” texture.  The microwave instructions should be on bag – if not do a minute at a time until no longer cold.

Heat chili (I get bean and meat chili, but you can use whatever you prefer) and cheese in separate pans on the stove about 5 minutes before potatoes are done.  Instead of Nacho Cheese you can also use shredded cheese, but I like the extra kick from the Nacho Cheese.

When everything is complete scoop potatoes on to each plate and top with broccoli, chili, and nacho cheese.  It’s amazing – and even if you don’t like broccoli the chili/cheese combo hides the flavor.
