Ingredients:
4 medium russet potatoes
8 ounces lean ground beef
1 cup broccoli florets, finely
chopped
1 cup water
1 cup shredded reduced-fat
Cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground
pepper
3 green onions, sliced
Directions:
1. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Place in the microwave and cook on
medium, turning once or twice, until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. (or
in your oven preheated to 400 degrees for 40-60 minutes depending on the size
of the potato).
2. Meanwhile, brown meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often,
about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Increase heat to high, add broccoli
and water to the pan, cover, and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the
broccoli; add to the meat.
3. Carefully cut off the top third of the cooked potatoes; reserve the tops for
another use. Scoop out the insides into a medium bowl. Place the potato shells
in a small baking dish. Add ½ cup Cheddar , sour cream, salt and pepper to the
potato inside and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add green onions and the
potato mixture to the broccoli and meat; stir to combine.
4. Evenly divide the potato mixture among the potato shells and top with the
remaining ½ cup cheese. Microwave on High until filling is hot and the cheese is
melted, 2 to 4 minutes. (or bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes).

Cook when you have more time – maybe on
weekends. Make soups, stews, or casseroles to freeze
for the next week.
Do some tasks the day before. Wash and cut
vegetables or make fruit salad. Your child can help.
Cook noodles for pasta salad. Cook lean ground beef
or turkey for tacos. Refrigerate all food items until
used.
Make non-cook meals and snacks:
• salads with canned tuna, chicken or beans
• cold sandwiches
• raw vegetables and low-fat yogurt
• fruit
Cook for today and later. You can make enough meat
sauce for spaghetti today and for topping a baked
potato tomorrow.
Benefits of Meal Planning
 Saves time. You will have everything you need for the meal you
want to prepare, which will save running to the store for missing
items.
 Saves money. Going to the store less frequently helps save money.
 Improves nutritional value of meals. When you plan meals, you
are more likely to serve foods that are nutritious.
 Reduces stress by eliminating the question, what should I cook for
dinner.
