MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: Remove any package or wrappers from ground beef.
Place beef on microwave-safe plate. Microwave on defrost for 3 to 4
minutes or until toothpick inserted in beef meets little resistance,
turning beef over once during defrosting. Pierce potatoes with fork. Place
in ungreased 13x9" (3-quart) microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for
24 to 28 minutes or until tender, turning potatoes over halfway through
cooking. Wrap in foil; let stand 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick
skillet or saucepan cook ground beef, onion, salt and pepper over
medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink; drain. Stir in flour; add
milk, mustard and hot pepper, stirring constantly. Add broccoli; bring to
boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened. Reduce heat to
medium-low; simmer uncovered for 5 to 8 minutes or until broccoli is
tender. Reserve 2 tablespoon cheese; stir remaining cheese into sauce until
melted. Remove foil from potatoes cut each in half lengthwise, cutting to
but not through the bottom of potatoes. Mash slightly with fork. Pour beef
and broccoli mixture over potatoes; sprinkle with reserved cheese. Dietary
