This is based on a recipe in Better
Homes and Gardens After Work Cook Book. This
version is a little bit richer and a little bit cheesier,
but still a snap to make.
3 cups broccoli
florets, chopped
2 Tbsp. butter
or margarine
2 Tbsp. flour
4 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup blue cheese,
crumbled
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cup crushed Ritz
cracker crumbs
6 more Tbsp. butter
or margarine, melted
Preheat
oven to 350°. Steam or boil broccoli florets until
just cooked, about 2-3 minutes; drain well. In a large
saucepan melt 2 Tbsp. butter over medium-low heat. Stir
in flour. Add cream cheese, blue cheese and milk. Stir
over heat until smooth. Stir in broccoli.
Mix
6 Tbsp. melted butter with cracker crumbs until well
combined. Stir in 1 cup of cracker mixture into broccoli
mixture. Pour mixture into a casserole dish. Bake covered
for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the top
with remaining cracker crumbs. Return to oven and bake
uncovered for another 15 minutes. Allow to cool for
10 minutes before serving.
