Best Creamy Broccoli And Cheese Recipes

CREAMY BROCCOLI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
• Place broccoli and onion into a saucepan, pour in water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until broccoli turns bright green and starts to become tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk flour and 1/4 cup evaporated milk together in a bowl until smooth. Stir remaining evaporated milk and salt into broccoli. Gently stir flour mixture into broccoli mixture and bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sharp Cheddar cheese, mixing until cheese has melted into the sauce.
• Cook and stir bread crumbs with butter in a small skillet over medium heat until butter has melted and crumbs begin to give a toasted fragrance, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Transfer broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle crumbs atop casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and browned, about 30 minutes.

SLOW COOKER CREAMY POTATO, CABBAGE, BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• Place everything except cabbage and cheese in a 6 quart crockpot.
• Add as much cabbage as will fit and still leave about an inch of space between the top of the food and the lid.
• Add water to almost cover the ingredients (about 2 cups when I made it).
• Cook on low until soft my guess is 6-8 hours then use an immersion blender to cream everything.
• add in cheeses and blend again, or let melt and stir.
• This is a nice hearty soup for the cold snap we are having. It needed a bit more flavor so I added the tony's at the end. Adding bits of ham at the beginning might work for that as well.

THICK AND CREAMY BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• Steam Broccoli by either putting in Microwave safe dish with lid and a small amount of water, or on stove in a covered sauce pan and small amount of water.
• Cook just until soft.
• Oil skillet 1/8" in bottom.
• Heat, then add 3 TBS Butter.
• Add 2 Tbs Flour, chopped Green onion bottoms and ground Pepper.
• Cook until Yellow in color, just enough so the flour is not raw.
• Add 2 Cans of Chicken Broth.
• Stir quickly, using whisk if you have one.
• Add Steamed Broccoli and any pan liquids.
• Add Green Onion tops, and Simmer 15-20 minutes on Med heat.
• This will slightly reduce liquid and impart flavors. The broccoli breaks apart and "makes" the soup. If you would like whole pieces of broccoli, keep some out to add at the end. This way they will not overcook.
• Reduce heat.
• Add Colby and American Cheeses.
• Cook on low 1 minute.
• Add 1 Cup Half and Half slowly, so it will not clump.
• Here you must watch temperature, so keep it on low.
• Cook 10 minutes.
• Add Cornstarch to water and stir.
• Pour in 1/2 of cornstarch mixture and stir.
• Then pour in 2nd half of mixture and stir.
• Turn heat off and stir until thick.
