Corn Flake Broccoli Casserole

One of my favorite things to make for any type of bring a dish event is Broccoli Casserole.

What you need:

INGREDIENTS:

6 cups of frozen broccoli

2 cups of shredded cheese

1 - 1 1/2 cups milk

4 tbsp butter

1 medium chopped onion

1/2 - 1 red pepper (I usually use about 3/4)

3 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp flour *not pictured

bacon (5-7 slices chopped) *opps, not pictured either

1 cup of corn flakes crushed

Step 1:

Cook frozen broccoli in microwave for about 8-10 minutes. Just enough where it's becoming cooked but not done.

*Important* When the broccoli is done cooking make sure to drain it well.

Step 2:

It's a good idea to start cooking that bacon now. I like to make mine crispy in a casserole because it softens up while baking with all the yummy cheese.

Step 3:

Melt 2 tbsp of your butter in a small saucepan.

Step 4:

Once the butter is melted add 2 tbsp flour and brown together.

Step 5:

Now add the milk and bring to a boil.

Step 6:

Remember those chopped veggies? Throw those in with the bacon and cook for just a few minutes (like 2 or 3).

Step 7:

Add 3 tbsp of Dijon mustard

and then

Add 2 cups of shredded cheese and stir until melted and well blended.

Step 8:

Mix the broccoli and veggie bacon mix together.

Once mixed well add the cheese.

Step 9:

Place in backing dish and cook on 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.

Okay, this is where I claim pregnancy. I completely forgot to take pictures of the corn flake topping process.

Step 10: While baking the casserole melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter. Once melted pour it in with the corn flakes and mix it all up.

When you have about 5 minutes left of baking sprinkle corn flake mixture all over the top then brown it all up in that oven.

The final product?

Well... I forgot to take a picture so here is a picture of the leftovers:
