Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
- 3 packages frozen broccoli (cooked, drained, and cut into pieces)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon granules
- 2/3 cup chicken bouillon cubes
- 6 tablespoons water
- 2/3 cup additional butter
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- 1 package Pepperidge Farm Herb Stuffing (about 6 ounces)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Broccoli: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cooked, drained, and cut-up broccoli into a casserole dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread out.
-
Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the 4 tablespoons of flour, mixing well to form a smooth paste. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
-
Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency.
-
Incorporate Bouillon: Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of instant chicken bouillon granules and 2/3 cup of chicken bouillon cubes (crushed), stirring until fully dissolved in the sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional minute, then pour it over the prepared broccoli in the casserole dish.
-
Prepare the Topping: In a small saucepan, heat 6 tablespoons of water and 2/3 cup of butter until the butter is completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in the Pepperidge Farm Herb Stuffing and 1 cup of chopped pecans, mixing until well combined.
-
Assemble the Casserole: Sprinkle the stuffing and pecan mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli and sauce.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.
-
Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of Linda Kidd’s Broccoli Supreme with your favorite main dishes.
