My family loves this creamy vegetable side dish. As pretty as it is tasty, it's an extra-special way to serve broccoli, and it really dresses up a table. Ingredients:
3 cups water |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, divided |
2 packages (6 ounces each) corn bread stuffing mix |
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen broccoli spears, cooked and drained |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1-1/3 cups milk |
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened and cubed |
2 green onions, sliced |
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/8 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, 1/4 cup butter and seasoning packet from stuffing mixes; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; add stuffing crumbs and toss. Let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Spoon stuffing around edges of greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place broccoli spears in center of dish. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt remaining butter. Stir in the flour, bouillon and salt until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
3. Add cream cheese; stir until melted. Add onions; mix well. Pour over broccoli. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika. Yield: 8-10 servings.
