Quick & Easy Cheesy Broccoli Recipe

Who would have thought broccoli would taste so good with homemade cheese sauce? If you still haven’t tried it, I recommend this recipe from Mama Boi’s Kitchen on Youtube. This recipe is simply the best, and it’s been a staple in my home cooking ever since I tried it. My family loves this recipe, and I’m sure your family will, too! Watch the video below to learn the full recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups broccoli florets, steamed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 oz mild cheddar cheese
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Step 1

Melt the butter in a saucepan. After it melts, add the flour and stir for three to five minutes. Once the flour had fully dissolved, add the milk gradually while stirring. Keep stirring until the texture becomes smooth, then add the heavy cream. Let it simmer for ten to twenty minutes until it thickens. While the roux is simmering, go ahead and grate your cheddar cheese. After simmering the roux, turn off the heat and add the grated cheese. Mix well until the cheese is fully combined.

Step 2

Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. After mixing, cover the sauce with plastic wrap, touching the sauce directly so it doesn’t develop skin. Set it aside while you work on the broccoli. In a large saucepan over high heat, add the broccoli and some water. Put on the lid and steam the broccoli for three minutes. After three minutes, transfer the broccoli to a plate and top it with the cheese sauce. Finish off by sprinkling some freshly ground black pepper.
