Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccoli

    In a large pot, bring 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. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring until the mixture thickens and is smooth.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked broccoli to the cheese sauce, stirring gently to coat the florets. If desired, sprinkle paprika on top for added flavor. Serve warm.
