This recipe is a keeper! The husband I both really enjoyed it. I love that it uses cream cheese in this recipe instead of cheddar cheese. I feel like the cream cheese gives it a much richer taste.

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1-2 cups of fresh broccoli
  • 2 frozen onion cubes (I purchase from Walmart in the freezer section)
  • 2 frozen garlic cubes (I purchase from Walmart in the freezer section)

  • 2 8 oz packages of cream cheese
  • salt to taste
