Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1½ cups milk
1 cup cream
2 tsp thyme
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (+ 1 cup for topping)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper (to taste )
500 g (1lb) pasta
500 g (1lb) broccoli florets

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 7-10 minutes. The pasta should be quite firm still as it will continue cooking in the oven. Add the broccoli florets and cook for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1 cup of cooking water and drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a deep pan or saucepan then whisk in the flour.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes then whisk in the garlic powder and thyme.
  • Add the milk, stirring/whisking continuously, until smooth. Cook over medium heat until the sauce has thickened and the flour has cooked through.
  • Stir in the cream, grated cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the pasta and broccoli with the cheese sauce. Add a little pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Transfer to a baking dish and top with grated cheddar cheese. Place in a preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to rest for 5 minutes then serve.

CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, AND CHEDDAR CASSEROLE



Chicken, Broccoli, and Cheddar Casserole image

Super comfort food, but kinda healthy because it has broccoli in it, right? My grandmother passed this chicken and Cheddar recipe down and it is a family favorite. After the first time I made it, I went on a casserole kick and made it twice a week for 3 months straight! I typically serve this over rice, but it is just as great by itself. Last time I didn't make rice, but served it with bread.
