Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Step 2
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 4-5 minutes until just tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute to create a roux.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted. Season the cheese sauce with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 6
In the prepared casserole dish, spread the cooked broccoli evenly. Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with olive oil and grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy, hearty broccoli casserole!
