Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1.5 cups frozen corn kernels
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Stir in the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, corn kernels, and prepared cheese sauce. Mix until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Mix to create a crumbly topping.

Step 9

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
