Broccoli Mac and Cheese Casserole
Ingredients:
- 2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 lb (8 oz.) VELVEETA®, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 cups small fresh broccoli florets, cooked
- 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup French fried onions
Directions:
HEAT oven to 350ºF
COOK macaroni as directed on package, omitting salt.
MEANWHILE, melt butter in large saucepan on medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook 2 min., stirring constantly. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to boil; cook and stir 3 to 5 min. or until thickened. Add VELVEETA; cook 3 min. or until melted, stirring frequently.
DRAIN macaroni. Add to VELVEETA sauce along with the broccoli and 1/2 cup cheddar; mix well. Spoon into 8-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; sprinkle with remaining cheddar. Top with onions.
BAKE 20 min. or until heated through
Serving Suggestion: This satisfying mac and cheese is clearly the star of the show, but a crisp side salad makes a perfect pairing.
Shortcut: Substitute thawed frozen broccoli florets for the cooked fresh broccoli.
