Broccoli Mashed Potatoes

LAURIE's Note:

Another one of those things that you put together when you crave something and are cleaning out the fridge! This comes together fast, esp if you have leftover mashed potatoes or use instant. If by any chance any of this is left over, thin it down with some chicken stock and milk and heat it up as a quicky broccoli/potato/cheese soup!

This was a great idea! I eyed all the measurements and I know I added a lot more cheese blend than called for. We really liked it and I will make this again, thanks.
