Beef & Broccoli Au Gratins

This is a meat-and-potatoes kind of meal, but with sneaky veggies too. We tried these once and were quite surprised at how much we liked them.

Beef & Broccoli Au Gratins

• 3 large baking potatoes
• 1/2 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 bag (6 oz) broccoli slaw
• 1/2 c. milk
• 2 oz non-fat cream cheese
• 1 1/2 c. sharp cheddar cheese
• pinch of pepper
• pinch of nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp basil

Bake the potatoes using the oven or microwave. Meanwhile, brown meat and drain. Add broccoli slaw to meat and allow to cook until just wilted. Add milk, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pepper, nutmeg, garlic, and basil. Warm until cheese is melted and all is well blended. Start heating broiler at 350 degrees. Take baked potatoes and split lengthwise on a cookie sheet. Cover with meat mixture and sprinkle with additional cheddar cheese if desired. Broil for about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
