Time 4h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
10 tablespoons salted butter, divided
3 cups chicken broth
2 packets Swanson® Flavor Boost™ Concentrated Chicken Broth
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ (16 ounce) bags frozen broccoli florets
19 ounces processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 ounces cream cheese
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine onion and garlic in a food processor; pulse until minced.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion-garlic mixture and cook until it looks like sauerkraut and is just beginning to brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine chicken broth and flavor packets in a bowl.
  • Transfer onion mixture to a 5-quart or larger slow cooker. Add remaining butter to the skillet and heat until melted and bubbling. Stir in flour with a wire whisk; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in chicken broth mixture and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and no lumps remain. Bring to a boil.
  • Add frozen broccoli to the gravy mixture and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Use a large spoon to transfer broccoli to the slow cooker, leaving as much gravy in the skillet as possible.
  • Add processed cheese food, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese to the gravy; stir to combine. Stir in milk and cream. Transfer mixture to the slow cooker and stir until well combined.
  • Cook on Low, stirring once every hour, for 4 hours. Turn slow cooker off and let cool and thicken slightly before serving.
