For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce. If freezing the casserole, omit the breadcrumb topping until ready to bake. This will prevent them from becoming soggy. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or even a touch of Parmesan would be delicious additions.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
02
StepPlace broccoli and onion into a saucepan, pour in water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until broccoli turns bright green and starts to become tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
03
StepWhisk flour and 1/4 cup evaporated milk together in a bowl until smooth. Stir remaining evaporated milk and salt into broccoli. Gently stir flour mixture into broccoli mixture and bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sharp Cheddar cheese, mixing until cheese has melted into the sauce.
04
StepCook and stir bread crumbs with butter in a small skillet over medium heat until butter has melted and crumbs begin to give a toasted fragrance, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
05
StepTransfer broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle crumbs atop casserole.
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until bubbling and browned, about 30 minutes.
