Broccoli With Seriously Cheesy Sauce

Broccoli With Seriously Cheesy Sauce

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch broccoli (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups grated mild cheddar cheese (about 5 ounces)

Directions

  • Place broccoli on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to remove the tough part of the stems (usually the lower 3 to 4 inches). Cut broccoli into 4 even portions.

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 teaspoon salt. Add broccoli and cook until tender, 3 to 6 minutes. Drain broccoli in a colander set in sink. Using tongs, transfer to a 2-quart casserole or serving dish.

  • In a heavy 4-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and bring to a boil, whisking occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.

  • Remove from heat and add cheese. Stir well. Pour sauce over broccoli and serve.
