Directions:

1. Wash the potatoes and place them on a microwave-safe plate. Use a fork to poke some holes in them and microwave for 5 minutes. Turn them over and microwave for another 5 minutes. The potatoes should be tender, similar to a baked potato. Remove and allow them to cool enough to handle, then peel the skin off and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. Using a potato masher, mash up the potatoes. Add the butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
3. Spread the mashed potatoes in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish.
4. Top the potatoes with 3/4 cup of the cheese and sprinkle the bacon bits and green onions over the cheese.
5. Spread the cooked broccoli over the top.
6. Top the broccoli with the remaining cheese.
7. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
