Penny's Broccoli Casserole image

I'm submitting this because my kids and my elders love this....I tend to like my broccoli fresh and steamed! I also usually like to use crushed ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs with this, or just leave them off altogether. This recipe came to me through a school cookbook, which was a collection of recipes other people had gathered together....have no idea who Penny is! But the recipe was submitted by Laura Harms. That is all the credit I can give!!!

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (10 ounce) packages broccoli, frozen, chopped
1/4 cup butter, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (2 oz)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, fine (I prefer crushed ritz crackers or none at all.)

Steps:

  • Cook the broccoli according to the package directions; drain well. Place the broccoli in a lightly greased 1 quart casserole; set aside.
  • Melt 2 tbsp butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Add the salt and pepper; stir well.
  • Add the cream cheese, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour the cream cheese sauce over the broccoli in the casserole dish. Stir gently to combine. Sprinkle with the Cheddar cheese.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over low heat. remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

I found this casserole to be a bit too bland. I think it could have used more herbs and spices.

This casserole was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think it would have been better with a lighter sauce.
