Servings: 4 People
Calories: 264kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ - 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese Freshly grated, Not pre-grated
- 2 teaspoon Cornstarch Dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 cups Broccoli florets Steamed
Instructions
- In a large nonstick pot, add milk, cheese, dissolved cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic, mustard.
- Cook over low heat, whisking often, until cheese has fully melted into a thick, smooth sauce.
- If sauce is too thick, thin it out by adding a little more milk. If it's too thin, cook uncovered for longer until excess liquid evaporates and sauce is reduced.
- Pour this over steamed broccoli (I used roasted). Season with more salt and pepper, if you like.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- Tastes best when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up 2 days. However, it will be thicker and grainy, when reheated.
