Instructions

  • Place frozen broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave for 8 minutes, stirring at the 4-minute mark.
  • While broccoli is in the microwave combine milk, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a sauce pan and heat over medium heat until thickened and bubbling about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese and parmesan until melted. Taste and add more cheddar cheese if needed.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • I like to use 1 ½ -2 cups shredded cheddar cheese for this sauce but you can definitely only do 1 cup if that’s what you have.
  • This is best when eaten right away, but you can just heat up leftovers in the microwave.
  • Find out here how to freeze fresh broccoli and how to tell if broccoli is bad!
