CHEESY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE
In this casserole, a homemade cheese sauce that's good enough to toss with pasta replaces the canned creamed soup. When you mix in broccoli florets and cooked rice, then top the whole thing with crushed crackers and more Cheddar, you get a gooey holiday side with a crisp top. Use white or orange Cheddar or a mix of the 2, aiming for a range of 4 to 5 cups, based on how rich and cheesy you'd like it. And while this does contain a lot of broccoli, you'll probably want to serve a salad on the side.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green. Drain immediately and set aside.
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter with 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes over medium heat. When melted, add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper, and cook until scallions have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the flour streaks are slightly golden in color, then add the milk in a slow stream, stirring continuously.
- Continue to stir the milk until the mixture is thick and creamy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of the cheese, stirring vigorously to melt it down into a smooth sauce. Taste and season with salt.
- Add the cooked rice and parboiled broccoli to the pot and stir until evenly coated with sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup grated cheese, Ritz crackers and remaining 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbling. For more color, cook under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant color and better flavor than frozen broccoli. If you are using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp. You don't want the broccoli to be too soft or mushy. It should still have a little bit of a bite to it.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the broccoli is tender-crisp. Overcooking the casserole will make the broccoli mushy and the cheese tough.
- Serve the casserole immediately. This casserole is best served immediately after it is made. The broccoli will start to lose its color and flavor if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Broccoli and cheese casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like your casserole cheesy, gooey, or loaded with vegetables, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give broccoli and cheese casserole a try.
