Broccoli Nachos!

 Broccoli Nachos! If you like broccoli, this is amazing! You will need one head of broccoli per person. Well, okay, you can cut them up and share...but we each had our own. Also, cheese, crumbled bacon and green onions. Place the washed broccoli heads in a baking dish with 1/2 cup of water and bake at 350* for 20 minutes.  Remove from oven and place a handful of cheese on the top of each head. Place back in the oven for a couple minutes.  Long enough to melt the cheese.  Then add the crumbled bacon and green onions. Then drizzle honey mustard, blue cheese or ranch dressing on the top.  Seriously so good! It's healthier than nachos and great if your people like broccoli! This post published on Doodlecraft first
