HAM AND BROCCOLI BAKED POTATOES

Ham and Broccoli Baked Potatoes image

This loaded baked potato dish is a spin on a favorite family recipe I have made for years: ham and potato casserole. It's a great recipe when you have a tight food budget, and it tastes amazing! The potatoes and filling can be prepared ahead of time, then assembled prior to serving. -Patricia Prescott, Manchester, New Hampshire
