1
Prepare the Broccoli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
2
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Slowly add the milk while continuously whisking to prevent lumps.
3
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
4
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked broccoli to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated. Serve hot as a side dish or over pasta.
