Earlier this week, I ended up having a HUGE craving for broccoli and cheese. Haven't had this in a long, long time. So I cooked up some chicken in a crockpot, which the kids love the chicken cooked up that way, baked some bake potatoes and made this recipe. I got it orginially from the Betty Crocker cookbook, I added more milk, and I think next time I might try to make it with regular cheese instead of processed cheese.
Broccoli with Cheese sauce
1 package (10oz.) of frozen broccoli spears, cooked and drained (I used the steamable kind) OR you can use 1 1/2 pounds of fresh broccoli.
6 ounces of processed American cheese, sliced (I used Velveeta cheese)
1/3 cup of milk ( I used 1% and I believe I used about 1/2 cup)
1/4 onion salt
Prepare Broccoli: Frozen: follow directions on package. Fresh: Prepare - Wash broccoli , remove tough ends of lower stems, trim off large leaves. If stems are thicker then 1 inch, make lenthwise gashes to each stem. Cook - Heat 1 inch salted water(1/2 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of water) to boiling, and add broccoli. Cover and heat to boiling. Cook until stems are tender...12-15 minutes and drain.
Heat remaining ingredients over medium heat, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted & mixture is smooth 6 to 8 minutes. Add in broccoli OR pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli.
If you are going to use it as a topping like I did - highly recommend mixing the two together.
God Bless,
Carlena
