Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups frozen corn kernels
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched broccoli, corn kernels, and prepared cheese sauce. Mix until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Mix to create a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
