This very good and is Just Like Stuffed Baked Potatoes made with broccoli instead of cauliflower. I cut back on the cream cheese and cheddar because the broccoli florets I bought came in a 14 ounce bag instead of 16 ounce. Unlike the cauliflower version, you don't want to overcook the broccoli so it will hold its shape and not turn to mush.
