CREAMY BROCCOLI GRATIN
I found this recipe at least 15 years ago. My family and friends have always loved it. I used to do the broccoli from scratch, but recently started using frozen broccoli. It tastes the same. This is a great holiday side. The red pepper is what makes this dish...and the scratch sauce. Use a whisk for the sauce, it makes it...
