Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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

  5. 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.

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

Recipe Note

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.
