How to Make Broccoli And Onion Deluxe

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Steam or blanch broccoli florets until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Drain well.
Cook onions in boiling salted water until tender (about 5-7 minutes). Drain thoroughly.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of margarine over medium heat.
Whisk in flour, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly (about 5-7 minutes).
Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 cups of shredded cheese until melted and smooth.
In a large casserole dish, combine the cooked broccoli and onions.
Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables and gently stir to combine.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of margarine in a small bowl. Stir in bread crumbs until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the casserole.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
