Could there be a more kid-friendly way to serve broccoli than covered with cheese sauce? This cheesy broccoli recipe is so tasty, you'll find yourself making it again and again.

Ingredients:

  • 16 oz. fresh broccoli
  • 2 Tbsp. butter

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  2. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  3. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring continuously for 1 minute.

  4. Remove from heat and add milk. Return to heat, add salt and pepper, and stir until the mixture thickens and starts to boil.

  5. Turn off heat. Add cheese. Stir until melted. Pour over broccoli.
