This recipe is a very good side dish. It is creamy, cheesy, and of course- easy! It is delicious! The family prefers it to be made with crushed Saltine crackers on top, but if you'd like to use breadcrumbs, it will still come out tasting great! Ingredients:
2 1/2-3 cups frozen broccoli florets |
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
2 cups milk |
4 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
salt (to taste) |
pepper (to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs or 1 1/4 cups crackers, crushed fine |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a seperate pot, bring milk, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a boil. Add parmesan cheese, and return to a boil. If cream sauce needs to be thickened, combine cornstarch with a little cold milk and add to sauce. Boil until thickened.
3. In a seperate bowl, combine frozen broccoli, cream sauce, and a little salt. Pour into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar sheese over top of broccoli mixture.
4. In a small bowl, combine bread / cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Sprinkle over top of cheddar cheese.
5. Bake for 25-30 min., or until everything is hot and bubbly, and cracker crumbs are golden brown.
