While potatoes are baking, prepare broccoli and bacon.
Then make Homemade Cheese sauce:

Add flour then whisk for one minute.
Slowly whisk in milk then season with salt and pepper.
Stir and cook until thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat, then add cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
Season with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve immediately on top over potatoes. Add your favorite fixin's!
