Categories     Stuffing/Dressing

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups fresh broccoli florets and stems, chopped (stems should be VERY finely chopped)
1/2 lemon
1/4 cups onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cups mushrooms, minced
1 tablespoon flour
12 ounces evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (can use any cheese you like here, I like to use some smoked Provolone or Gouda if available)
1/4 cup brown rice, cooked

Steps:

  • First: Steam or microwave (about 3 minutes on HIGH) chopped broccoli and stems until tender but still bright green. Squeeze lemon over broccoli. Second: Melt butter in skillet. Add onions, garlic, celery and mushrooms and saute until softened. Stir in flour and cook about one minute to take away the raw flour taste. Whisk in milk and continue whisking until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 1/2 cup cheese and stir to melt. [Microwave directions] Add butter, onions, celery and mushrooms to 2 quart batter bowl. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes. Add flour to vegetables and stir. Whisk in milk and cook uncovered on HIGH for 6-7 minutes. Whisk after 4 minutes and once a minute thereafter to even out the cooking. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 1/2 cup cheese and stir to melt. Sauce will thicken more as it sits. Third: Combine broccoli, rice, and cheese sauce. Turn into 1 1/2 quart greased casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F until bubbly.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasonings next time.
