Broccoli Mac And Cheese
Broccoli Mac and cheese is a great creamy side dish with a cheesy sauce a and bits of broccoli.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces elbow macaroni pasta
- 16 ounces frozen broccoli cuts
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 8 ounces velveeta cheese, cubed
- 8 ounce sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
- salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, you'll make the cheese sauce because you will toss the noodles and broccoli right in before serving.
- In a pot on medium high heat add a little oil then toss in the diced onions and minced garlic. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Cook them a little bit, just until you start to notice brown bits forming then toss in the butter and the flour. Mix everything around together for about 5-10 seconds.
- Now, slowly pour in the milk while stirring. Add in the evaporated milk as well and bring the milk to the point of simmering. Do not let it go into a full boil.
- Once you see bubbles forming toss in the velveeta and cheddar cheese. You can turn the heat off now because the milk is hot enough to melt the cheese without and issue. Stir everything together then set the cheese sauce to the side.
- Cook the macaroni and the frozen broccoli by the instructions on the package. When the macaroni and broccoli are done toss them right into cheese sauce.
- Once both ingredients are added to the cheese sauce season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
