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:
