How to Make Broccoli With Sauce Amish

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Steam or boil 1 large head (about 2 lbs) of broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
  3. While broccoli cooks, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  4. In the same saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  5. Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread half of the cooked broccoli in the bottom of the dish. Top with half of the cheese sauce and the sautéed onions.
  7. Layer the remaining broccoli over the sauce and onions. Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the top.
  8. (Optional) Top with 1 cup cooked, cubed chicken breast and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
