Broccoli Cheese Casserole Recipe 455

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together condensed soup, mayonnaise, egg and onions.
• Place frozen broccoli into a very large mixing bowl. (I like to use my large stainless steel bowl to mix this recipe thoroughly.) Break up the frozen broccoli. Using a rubber spatula, scrape soup-mayonnaise mixture on top of broccoli, and mix well. Sprinkle on cheese, and mix well. Spread mixture into prepared baking dish, and smooth top of casserole. Season with salt, pepper and paprika.
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish or gratin dish.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and stir to coat the onions. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the hot milk. Return to the heat and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cheese by the handful. Add salt to taste. Add the broccoli to the cheese sauce and pour into the prepared dish.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet and stir in the cracker crumbs. Cover the broccoli casserole with the buttered cracker crumbs. Bake until bubbly and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bright green. Drain immediately and set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter with 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes over medium heat. When melted, add the scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper, and cook until scallions have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes, until the flour streaks are slightly golden in color, then add the milk in a slow stream, stirring continuously.
• Continue to stir the milk until the mixture is thick and creamy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of the cheese, stirring vigorously to melt it down into a smooth sauce. Taste and season with salt.
• Add the cooked rice and parboiled broccoli to the pot and stir until evenly coated with sauce.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup grated cheese, Ritz crackers and remaining 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbling. For more color, cook under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching carefully. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

• While the rice is cooking, place frozen broccoli in large skillet. Heat stove to low-medium and defrost broccoli When the broccoli is 90% defrosted add processed cheese sauce to the broccoli and let melt. When rice has completed cooking add broccoli-cheese mixture and rice to 9x13 baking dish and mix well.
