Easy One Pan Broccoli Macaroni And Cheese Food

BROCCOLI CHEESE MAC 'N' CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a baking dish.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until still firm. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the celery, broccoli and onion and cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to mash some of the broccoli. Sprinkle on the flour and dry mustard and stir to coat the vegetables. Pour in the milk, broth and half-and-half and cook, stirring, to allow it to warm up.
• Add the Cheddar, processed cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and some salt and pepper and stir to melt the cheese. Add the macaroni and stir. Taste and check for seasoning. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Combine the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan in a small bowl and sprinkle over the dish. Bake until bubbly, about 25 minutes.

EASY ONE-PAN BROCCOLI MACARONI AND CHEESE

ONE-POT BROCCOLI MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• In a large pot or skillet, combine the macaroni, broccoli, milk, salt and garlic powder. Add 3 cups of water, and stir to combine. (The pasta may not be fully submerged. That's OK!) Bring to an active simmer over medium-high. Reduce the heat to medium to gently simmer. Cook, stirring often to ensure even cooking and to keep things from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the pasta is tender, and the liquid resembles heavy cream and coats the noodles, 8 to 12 minutes. If the liquid evaporates so much that you don't see any between noodles, add 1/2 cup water. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer.
• Remove from heat and stir in the Cheddar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Eat!
