Ingredients

Directions

  2. In a large bowl, whip together the hot mashed potatoes, softened cream cheese, egg, and margarine until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  4. Fold in half of the French fried onions into the potato mixture.
  5. Lightly butter an 8x12 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread the potato mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the baking dish to form a shell or crust.
  7. Bake the potato shell uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden.
  8. While the shell bakes, cook the frozen broccoli according to package directions until tender, then drain well.
  9. Remove the baking dish from the oven and arrange the hot, drained broccoli evenly inside the potato shell.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli.
  11. Top with the remaining French fried onions.
  12. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
