Ingredients Needed
-
2 pounds fresh broccoli, coarsely chopped
-
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
-
½ cup water
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk, divided
-
salt to taste
-
1 cup cubed sharp Cheddar cheese
-
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs, or to taste

Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.

Place broccoli and onions in a saucepan, add water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/4 cup of evaporated milk until smooth. Add the remaining milk and salt to the broccoli. Slowly stir in the flour mixture, bring to a simmer, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sharp Cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

In a small skillet, melt butter and toast the breadcrumbs over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Pour the broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the toasted breadcrumbs.

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and golden brown.
