Whenever the weather turns cool, I immediately think of cooking comfort food. For dinner on Sunday, I cooked an old fashioned pot roast, with all the trimmings - carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy. Megan and Melissa were home for the night, so we had an early birthday dinner for my husband :-
Baked Broccoli and Cheese Recipe
2 T. butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 T. flour
1 cup milk, heated
1/2 lb. Velvetta cheese, cut into cubes
salt and pepper to taste
6 cups cooked broccoli, chopped
1 tsp. butter
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 T. butter. Sauté onion in butter, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in flour; cook 30 seconds. Whisk in hot milk, stirring until thickened. Stir in Velvetta until melted. Add salt and pepper. Combine cheese sauce and broccoli and pour in 2 qt. baking dish. In a 1 cup glass measuring cup, melt 1 tsp. butter in microwave. Stir in bread crumbs. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture on top of broccoli mixture. Bake, covered at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Bake uncovered, 5 more minutes. Serves 4 to 6.
More about the party I took this dish to, tomorrow. Enjoy the start of your week.

ReplyDeleteI love broccoli myself, and it does looks so good. I'm loving recipes that are sprouted up to the cooler weather and falling leaves. I'm in the Midwest but don't have as many leaves falling as you do, but soon. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about lots of leaves. Not here, but at our previous home we had big trees and I raked, and raked, and raked in the Fall. The broccolli recipe sounds very yummy. Thanks so much for sharing with Share Your Cup.
Hugs,
Jann
