Directions
Scrub and dry the potatoes.
Pierce several times with a fork.
Place in a square pattern on a paper towel.
Microwave on high for 15 minutes, turning and rearranging the potatoes twice during this time, until the potatoes are just tender enough to pierce with a sharp knife.
Transfer to a 350° oven, placing the potatoes directly on the rack.
In a 2-quart casserole, combine the onions, garlic, and oil.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Stir in the carrots and celery.
Microwave on high for 4 minutes, or until the carrots are crisp-tender.
Cut the florets from the broccoli stalk and separate them into bite-size pieces.
Peel the stem and thinly slice.
Add the broccoli and peas to the casserole.
Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender.
In a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the margarine or butter.
Add the flour and stir over heat for 1 minute.
Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of the milk.
Cook, stirring, until the sauce is bubbly and begins to thicken.
Add the Cheddar, remove from the heat, and stir until the cheese is melted.
Add enough of the remaining milk to make the sauce the consistency of light cream.
Pour the sauce over the cooked vegetables and stir to combine.
Slit open the baked potatoes.
Spoon the sauce over them.
