Made this last night for the first time... I think even people who hate broccoli will love this! So simple, I recommend trying any kind of veggie or cheese combo.

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour, stirring constantly to prevent browning. Slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  • Drain broccoli and place in a casserole dish. Pour cheese sauce on top.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, crush bread into crumbs. Saute in a skillet with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Spread bread crumbs over the broccoli and continue baking until golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

Had difficulty with making the bread crumbs - bread was not dry enough. Would definitely make again using purchased breadcrumbs!

This is quite good but changed a few things. I halved the recipe and used about 3 cups of frozen broccoli (after running it through the microwave for a few minutes, it was reduced to about 2 1/2 cups). I also used 1/2 cup of Panko crumbs (instead of stale bread) sauted with the butter until golden. The sauce was very good and I would recommend this recipe. Very nice and smooth and tasty. Thanks so much for the recipe. I will use it again!

Excellent. Great way for non-brocoli eaters to get a tasty vegetable dish that they will enjoy.

Original recipe makes a lot (serve 10-12). I added a rice mix which gave it more color. With the basic recipe, other items could be added and or changed. Will use again.

This turned out pretty good. Next time I will add some cayenne or chili flakes for some heat.

While the basics of this recipe were fine, the proportions in the recipe are wrong. 5 Tablespoons of butter is never going to incorporate 1 1/2 CUPS of flour! Use the same amount of butter with about 1/3 cup of flour. Also the sauce was a bit bland. I used fresh garlic and my own homemade Worcestershire sauce and it turned out good. I'm a Professional Chef but hadn't made Broccoli au gratin in years, so looked it up.
