Ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli
- 2 Cups milk
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 Cups Cheddar cheese grated and divided
- 1 Teaspoon sea salt
- 1 Teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon onion powder
- Bread sticks approximately 10 - 12, crushed
Instructions
- Have ready a deep sided 8 inch casserole dish. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put the broccoli in a large colander. Pour over boiling water and then cold water. Shake off excess water and put the broccoli in the casserole dish.
- In a medium saucepan set over medium to high heat, melt butter until sizzling. Whisk in flour until you have a paste. Gradually start whisking in your milk. Continue doing this until you have added all the milk and you have a slightly thickened sauce. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir really well. Reduce heat to low and add most of the cheese, reserving about 1/2 cup for the top. Stir really well until all the cheese has melted into the sauce. Remove from heat.
- Pour the sauce over the broccoli and toss to coat all broccoli. Top with extra cheese and smashed up bread sticks. Bake for around 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes before serving.
