Ingredients
6 cups fresh broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
2 cups cooked white rice
SAUCE
3 tablespoons butter
¾ cup onion diced (about 1 small)
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
¼ teaspoon each garlic & black pepper
½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
½ teaspoon paprika
salt to taste
3 tablespoons cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook onion and butter on medium-low heat until softened and translucent. Stir in flour, garlic powder and pepper. Cook an additional 2 minutes.
Gradually pour in milk while whisking. Continue whisking over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and add dry mustard, paprika, cream cheese and 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese. Stir until melted. Taste and season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Place broccoli in boiling water for about 2 minutes. You still want it slightly crisp as it cooks more in the oven.
Stir together rice, broccoli and cheese sauce. Place in a greased 2 qt casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese and bake 35 minutes or until bubbly and cheese lightly browned.
